Sincerity is the simplest thing in the world and also the most difficult to maintain.  It requires vulnerability and uprightness in the face of a constantly shifting and challenging world.  Meeting life squarely takes constant attention, and there are countless ways to escape.  The foremost aim of the Term Student Program is to cultivate and guide our sincere heart through inquiry into the Buddha way.  What calls to each of us has called to countless beings throughout the ages and in every corner of the world.  What is the call now?  Here?  How will you respond?

Term Students commit to daily zazen, attending discussion groups and Sanzen or practice discussion (one-on-one meeting with a Teacher or Sangha Elder), studying and reflecting on term texts. These commitments are meant to bring into focus the raw intention of our hearts and minds, and build a field of awakening at the core of the Temple and across our individual lives.
