Come in. Sit for a while.
No sign-up, no feed, nobody talking. Stay as long as one stick of incense, or longer.

What you can do here
- Offer incense
- Light three sticks and let the smoke rise. A small way to mark that you arrived.
- Bow
- One bow at a time. The traditional practice is 108, but one honest bow counts.
- Wooden fish and beads
- Each strike of the wooden fish moves the Heart Sutra on by one phrase. Each bead counts one recitation of a short phrase such as Guanyin’s name; 108 beads make one round.
- Draw a Guanyin lot
- Hold a question, shake the tube, confirm with the moon blocks, and read the poem.
