Zen online
As many people are unable to visit a dojo, we offer you the opportunity to follow the daily meditations, as well as the ceremonies, live on your computers and smartphones.
You will find on this page the weekly program, the sutras (texts of the ceremonies), as well as videos to help you in your practice.
Regularly, there is also a video broadcast for Teishos and Mondos which will be anounced here.

Is ZEN ON LINE useful to you?
We are very happy about this and enjoy sharing zazen and teachings with you every day.
In order to offer you the best possible sound and connection quality, we have invested in high-quality equipment and have several contracts with internet service providers and networks.
This service is free, but the end of the year is an opportunity to contribute financially with a donation or by setting up a monthly donation of your choice.
It is a non-profit organization, so donations may be tax deductible. You will receive a receipt.
This donation will allow us to continue to maintain and improve our services with podcasts, teisho audio and video, and new initiatives in 2026.
Thank you for your support and generosity. See you soon on ZEN ON LINE!
