What should I wear when I go to Uto-an?

There is no strict dress code, but please dress as you would to enter any sacred space. Clothing which shows a lot of skin (shorts, t-shirts, and so on), as well as clothing with lots of text, loud patterns, or bright colors can be distracting for other practitioners. At most Zen centers, you'll find people wearing, modest, subdued clothing. Of course, wear clothes that are comfortable and allow you to bend your legs easily.
