Tuesday nights always start with sitting meditation at 7:30, walking meditation at 8:10, and Zen service at 8:20; at 8:30 we move to dharma discussion and spend an hour of freewheeling discussion centered around anything from ancient texts to modern Buddhist writings to dharma talks given by sangha members. Every month, there's an all-day retreat up at Jikoji in the hills above Los Gatos. At the moment, the group is quite small (usually less than a dozen showing up on Tuesday nights). They laugh at my jokes and enjoy the perspective I bring from a science background; the convivial atmosphere has kept me coming back for more than two years now.

I came from China a few years ago. I stay at my daughter's house to take care of her kids. Now that…read morethey are all in school, I do not have much to do. One day I hopped on the Palo Alto free shuttle. I heard two Chinese people talking about La Comida. They said that seniors , those over 60, are welcome to go there for lunch. I joined them, and went to their lunch program at Masonic center, in downtown Palo Alto. I am so happy to meet some other Chinese speaking diners. The food is full of nutrition, freshly prepared daily. It includes salad, main dish ,side dishes and dessert, plus coffee/tea, and milk. The helpers are all volunteers, they are so kind and caring. I am going there often now. There is live music , movie day, line dancing on Wednesdays, and games to play. Please encourage your parents to come and join the lunch program.

Unprofessional. Do not donate to these people…read more CSA advised me to get a 3-day pay-or-quit notice from my landlord. They said they'd put me on a waitlist for rental assistance. So I did that.

Very traditional Zen Center, at least for America. If you are looking for a democratically run…read moreorganization this is not it. The teacher is definitely the authority in all matters here.

I have been doing a lot of general reading about Buddhism over the past year or so, and a friend…read moreconvinced me to stop reading and start doing, so last month I went to the Saturday morning beginner's class at Kannon Do. This center is affiliated with the San Francisco Zen Center, also founded by Zen Master Shunryu Suzuki,s o they are mainstream, excellent pedigree, nothing cult-ish here. Unlike the San Francisco Zen Center, the program for beginners was intense even for me, and I don't think my attention span is as gnat-like as some people. We began by meditating after about a ten minute talk. We sat for 20 minutes, did about 15-20 minutes of walking meditation, took a 10 minute break, did another 20 minutes of meditation, then another 10 of walking, then another 20 of sitting. I was overwhelmed. All the books I read said to start a few minutes at a time, and that even that would be a challenge. I was really struggling. And I had no idea what the purpose of the meditation was. What exactly had I been reading about? If I could focus, to what end? This class was mainly meant to get you started on focusing your mind, and getting your body used to the posture. The nun was very nice, the facility was clean, tranquil, and the gardens beautiful. But this was just too intense for me, and from what I understand, much more intense than the beginners classes at the SF Zen Center. The Wednesday night sessions also have beginner's session, followed by 40 minutes of sitting, followed by a service, then a dhamma talk, which I'm sure would be great to listen to, but I got the distinct impression you couldn't come for just the talk. I don't expect to be good at this overnight, or to gain understanding or insight even after a few years at it, but I think I may need more guidance and a more gentle beginning. If you want to start though, these people are nice and you'll have plenty of time to think, focus, and work on posture.
