Mondō
Open Mondō is an opportunity for Zen students to ask questions and engage in dialogues with a teacher about real life situations and concerns rather than academic concerns. Although some schools prefer a formal ceremonious style of mondō, our mondōs are relaxed and informal.
Questions are dharma-related but focus on situations that are of immediate significance to our lives. They can be asked in real time when we meet on zoom or in person, or they can be sent to Rev. Koyama in advance by email.
