Review from Kirk F.
I was a bit hesitant the first time I attended services even though I had read quite a bit about Buddhism. If you're debating attending, fear not: members are very welcoming.
Expect a lot of sitting and staring at walls in a spartan environment with some breaks for walking meditation. After that there is chanting followed by a rotating educational session. Some weeks it's dharma discussion (where you learn more about the Buddha's teachings), others it's protocol training (learning the hows and wherefors of zen practice) and sometimes it just wraps up after the chanting..
There is not cost to attend but donations are welcome. Regular Sunday services are held at the Dalhousie Mulitfaith Centre.
The first Sunday of the month has a newcomers session beginning at 10:30 a.m. but you'd be welcome any week.
