Zendo
((中国語:Chántáng)) or is a Japanese "meditation hall". In Zen Buddhism, the ''zen-dō'' is a spiritual ''dōjō'' where zazen (sitting meditation) is practiced. A full-sized Zen Buddhist temple will typically have at least one ''zen-dō'' as well as a ("main hall", but sometimes translated as "Buddha hall"), which is used for ceremonial purposes, plus a variety of other buildings with different functions. However, any place where people go to practice Zen can be referred to as a ''zen-dō''.
==''Zen-dō'' mealtimes==
Meals are in some temples eaten in the zendo during sesshin. Three meals a day are served. Breakfast is served in the early morning, before dawn. It normally consists of rice gruel and pickled vegetables. Two meals are taken later; at noon and late afternoon. Noon meal is the main meal. These meals usually consist of rice, vegetable soup and pickled vegetables. The afternoon meal consists of leftovers from the noon meal.
The ''Hridaya Sūtra'' and the "five meditations" are recited before breakfast and lunch. During lunch monks will offer some of their meal to the pretas or hungry ghosts. The monks remain silent during mealtimes and communicate via hand and arm gestures.〔"''An Introduction to Zen Buddhism''" Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki, The Random House Group, Chapter 9 "''The Meditation Hall and the Monk's Life''", Pages 118-132〕
