Ask a Monk

Description

A Private Zen Dialogue with the chief monk of Kezoin Temple.

The experience begins with a short guided meditation to settle the mind, followed by an open conversation in a quiet, private setting.

Guests are invited to ask questions about Zen practice, daily monastic life, and perspectives on contemporary living.

This is not a lecture, but a direct exchange rooted in Zen tradition — an opportunity to engage with Buddhist thought in its living form.
