To practice zen requires careful cultivation and ongoing effort. It is best done under the guidance of an experienced teacher and in the company of like minded practitioners. White Cloud Zen Center aims to provide full opportunity to realize the fruits of this practice. However it is up to you to take initiative and discover this practice for yourself. The teacher can just point to the Way.

White Cloud Zen Center is headed by dharma holder and resident teacher Rein Konpo Kaales. He is Idaho’s only full-time resident zen teacher and has been studying under Genpo Roshi for over 20 years and teaching since year 1999. He is a White Plum lineage holder, a lineage started by Maezumi Roshi. White Cloud provides full time opportunity to study and practice through meditation, dharma talks, work practice (samu), koan study and retreats.
