New Students

  • All Are Welcome

    We have students and instructors who come from all over the world and from very diverse backgrounds. No prior experience is necessary, just a sincere desire to realize the True Self.

  • Zen Training

    Zen is an assault on duality: Mind-Body, Self-Other, Life-Death.

    We train rigorously using the traditional forms of Rinzai Zen, martial arts, and fine arts.

  • How To Join

    We offer monthly Intro to Zen classes. All new students are expected to complete an intro class prior to joining regular classes, even if they have prior meditation experience.

Everyone Contributes

Zen training is available to any and all regardless of ability to pay. However, we expect people who train with us to contribute by volunteering during work days and by making donations to help support the expenses of our dojo. Please give what you can. Donation boxes are located near the entrances. One-time and monthly recurring donations can be made online using the link below.
