We are a Zen Buddhist training center and multi-faith, diverse and
welcoming community for spiritual development. Our practice is
designed specifically for people engaged in the demanding discipline
of worldly life - relationships, family, careers and community service.
The hallmark of Zen accomplishment is not the hermitage or
monastery, but mindful, skillful and whole-hearted living.
We value each member and the caring quality of our community. We
also emphasize spiritually-based social action: holistic service based
on our intimate bond with all creation.
what is zen?
Zen is a way of training body, breath and mind to experience the
oneness and interconnectedness of life, and to develop wisdom and
compassion. The core practice is Zazen, Zen meditation, which
is body-mind merger with each moment of life, the practice of
presence. We sit still to create the clear space to experience our own
being and the nature of the moment as it is. But sitting still is not
enough. We must learn to bring this body-mind into all activities of
daily life.
Our teachers work with each student, beginning where the student is
at, to develop a personal, incremental training process. Training with
us offers an opportunity for spiritual transformation, which includes a
relationship with a Zen teacher, gaining a vision of wholeness,
unknotting problematic emotional and behavioral patterns and
gaining an openness of body and mind. For those with awakening
experience, we help you clarify your understanding, further awaken
other perspectives of oneness and further develop the ability to
function from those perspectives in daily life.
