Consulting Interviews Online

In response to the Sangha world-wide, we are offering the possibility to have consulting interviews via email or Skype. Consulting Interviews are an opportunity to ask questions or talk about Zen practice with a senior Dharma teacher. Consulting interviews are a valuable source of support for people beginning practice as well for experienced practitioners.

The Empty Gate Zen Center has made connections to many people who are in locations where there is no Zen center or support for practice. This is an opportunity for anyone, in any location, who has questions about practice, Zen, life, any kind of problem, etc.

You can send questions by email at abbot@emptygatezen.com

You can also email to set up a time and date for Skype chat or video
For Skype, search for empty.gate.abbot or Empty Gate Abbot under “add contacts” in the Contacts section.
