Zazenkai "after" photos. Very difficult training eased into joyful and relaxed smiles.

It was also Eshin's birthday and his first training since becoming president of our board. ¡Felicidades!

Our 3-day zazenkai (zen retreat) had the strongest group yet. We ran a very challenging schedule and started to catch the forms more fluidly by the last day.

Send a DM if you are interested in the March zazenkai.

Big happenings at Cho'onji:

We had a terrific six-day work retreat. We made incredible progress on Roshi's house and the dorms, especially in plumbing and electrical infrastructure. Special thanks to our volunteers from the Massachusetts Vipassana community. We aspire to reciprocate, sharing our space in March for a 3-day Vipassana course.

Yesterday we had another great day of Sunday programming, including Zazen, Kinhin, Choka, and Samu (work practice). Good energy is brewing!

This weekend, from Friday evening through Monday morning, we will run a Zazenkai (intensive Zen retreat). Send a DM if you'd like to join.

Announcing two Zazenkai dates:
1) weekend of Jan-30
2) weekend of Feb-13

Zazenkai is intensive Zen retreat, often lasting three days at Cho'onji.

We're lucky to practice on this green property, with old statues such as Jizo Bosatsu, pictured above. The Zen history of this land is supportive for our practice.

Check our website (link in the description) for more information. Send a DM to begin the registration process.

We are making an important push on our facilities for the next two weeks.

Between now and Monday, we will finish our kitchen renovation (these photos show painting). On Monday, four skilled volunteers will arrive and we will renovate Roshi's house and the dorms.

We need help to host these volunteers, including airport runs, cleaning, organizing, cooking, and more. If you are able to help us during these weeks, send a direct message.

Gracias a todos los participantes del mini-retiro de hoy. Le damos la bienvenida a todos los que quieren aprender Zen.

Our January first event united a solid group of experienced and beginner Zen practitioners. We reviewed our Zazen practice, enjoyed a formal meal, walked the grounds offering reverence during shodo fugin, and improved our spaces during samu.

Hunter the cat showed off his comfortable posture on the cushion, but he struggled with alertness.

We have more programming tomorrow from 12-4 and Sunday from 9-12.

A New Year's message from Gyoshi, Cho'onji's practice leader:

¡Felicidades! Is it a time to celebrate or get established in Zen? Surely both!

Now is an especially potent time to feed new habits, so we added programming this week (beginners welcome). Events are listed at the end of this message -- please RSVP: your commitment sustains Cho'onji.

Tenemos planes ambiciosos para 2026: queremos fortalecer nuestra programación, reparar facilidades incluyendo el dormitorio, y mejorar los espacios verdes. Si avanzamos en estas metas, estaremos listos para una visita de Meido Roshi en enero 2027. Si no avanzamos suficiente, demoraremos su visita hasta otro año.

Nuestro trabajo requiere compromiso de la comunidad. Fortaleceremos nuestra práctica a la misma vez de fortalecer Cho'onji. ¿Te comprometes a ser parte de esta transformación personal y de comunidad?

Primer paso: RSVP para un evento esta semana. Mande un mensaje directo. Tu participación hace el evento; tu compromiso sostiene a Cho'onji.

¡Felicidades y un próspero 2026!

Eventos está semana:

Today, starting at 7:30pm, join me for an overnight in the zendo. We'll start the new year strong tomorrow morning with more sitting and a ceremonial breakfast. This will be the best start to 2026.
