Dharma Talks

Each Sunday at 10:00 am, Sensei Al Rapaport or Senior Students give instruction on Zen practice.  The session begins with a 30-minute silent meditation, followed by the talk and time for Q & A, for a total time of about 90 minutes.

Below are a selection of talks in MP3 format given over the last few years. Additional talks are found in the Archives.
