Our guest, Rev. Taiga Ito, trained at Daihonzan Sojiji, one of the head monasteries of Soto Shu (Soto Zen in Japan). In 2016, Taiga Ito became Kokusaifukyoshi (international teacher of Soto Shu). He served as secretary of the Soto Zen Buddhism International Center between 2016 and 2018, and has served as its Assistant Director since 2019.

Our Monday night programs begin with zazen (sitting meditation) followed by a devotional service and dharma talk.  There are no membership requirements to participate. We invite newcomers and experienced Zen students to join us in person or on zoom.
