About Us: Zen Meditation

Zen Koans are Everywhere.

A koan is a saying or story or a line of poetry, often from long ago, but appearing all the time. People find that a koan makes Meditation come alive. At our sessions There will be sitting meditation as well as tea, a zen talk, and conversation. Our practice thrives on diverse perspectives and shared experiences as well as quiet and introspection.

Koan: Step by step in the dark, if my foot's not wet, I've found the stone.

Meditation is for you, as you are.

Meditation will allow space for everything that appears. without criticism. You don't need to clear your mind, or be anything other than yourself. It's not about endurance or renunciation. It's about curiosity.

It may be easier than you thought.

koan: Who am I?

So you can have your own true life

Meditation is a place to discover who you truly are, and that you're not separate, not alone. You begin to see the world with new eyes, more freely, with creativity, affection and Altruism. You can feel the way your life carries you and reality is with you not against you.

Koan: As I walk I ride the water buffalo.
