You are warmly invited to a modified fall angō at Austin Zen Center. For six weeks, with a break for Thanksgiving and including the 7-day Rohatsu winter retreat, we will intensify our practice together, with our ongoing schedule of zazen and chanting as our refuge.

REGISTRATION FOR THE CLASS AND THE ONE DAY SITTING IS CLOSED.  Please contact admin@austinzencenter.org to be added to the waitlist.

While there is no cost to participate in the general practice period, donations to the center are much appreciated.  You can also give dana directly to a teacher as gratitude for their teaching.  

Rev. Choro Antonaccio will offer a study class, open to everyone, on Tenshin Reb Anderson’s recent book, Nothing to Attain.
We will meet Thursdays 6:45p – 8p for 5 weeks, October 22 – November 19.
