Please join us for dharma talks online and in person with Kosho Finch Sensei every Thursday night at 7 p.m. as permitted by sensei's schedule. This hybrid class is lecture-style with dialogue encouraged from participants.
Rev. Kosho Finch will speak about selected topics and will provide translations of various texts, sutra and other material, sometimes including practical exercises and meditations for group engagement and reflective questions to contemplate.
This class is often taught in person at the Henjyoji Shingon Buddhist Temple in SE Portland and online via Zoom. Class is held in the main temple room and can be accessed via the stairs on the side of the building.
