Five Mountain Zendo will offer services and Dharma Talks in Second Life. This will allow those who live far from an actual Zendo the ability to come for services and also study. Five Mountain Zen Sangha priests and teachers will be performing these services in different timezones of North America. The schedule board outside the zendo reflects service times and times that teachers have committed to be in SL for questions and guidence. The standard time zone for SL is Pacific Standard Time.
