What we’re about
The Cincinnati Zen Center provides the support of community to those inquiring directly into the matter of this human life in the context and lineage of the tradition of Zen Buddhism.
The purpose and intent of our practice is that all beings may be free of suffering and that we may move through the challenges of life as our compassionate original nature.
The CZC was founded by Fran Turner in 1994 as part of the Furnace Mountain Sangha, a Zen community under the direction of Guiding Teacher Zen Master Dae Gak.
