What we’re about
"In order to meet the challenges facing all of us, we will need a spirituality grounded in the human heart, rather than in beliefs or ideals. One that cultivates the best in each of us, challenges us to function at the level of full self-expression, and affirms the fundamental and immeasurable value of every living being." — Seijaku Roshi
We strive to live a more authentic, compassionate, and engaged life. "Through daily meditation, prayer, and contemplation, in our Zen Community, we aspire to be transformed in mind and heart by embodying the Buddhadharma (the Path of Loving-Kindness, Compassion, and Service) in ways appropriate for our times."
Anyone no matter ther religious affiliation, faith, or beliefs is welcome to join us in another expression of what we all share in common, a dream for a more loving, compassionate, and kind world.
"For in the final analysis, our most basic common link, is that we all inhabit this small planet, we all breathe the same air, we all cherish our children's futures, and we are all mortal." John F. Kennedy, Speech at The American University, Washington, D.C., June 10, 1963

## The Power of the Word...
In our current state of the world, we are witnessing how misinformation spreads like a virus. We witness again and again how easy it can be to manipulate others, to create division, and to spread hatred through wrong or unskillful speech. In the Noble Eightfold Path, the Buddha instructed us on the importance of Right Speech. When we pay close attention to our words and use them skillfully, we can create heaven on Earth. Let us understand and realize the power that lies in the word and how to utilize this power for the benefit of all humanity.
