About us
"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

Saturday Zazenkai - FULL DAY Silent Meditation
Jizo-an Zen Community / The Zen Society, 1930 Marlton Pike East # L63, Cherry Hill, NJ, USSaturday Zazenkai - In Person and Online
Zazenkai - FULL Day Silent Meditation$15 Donation at the door or through Zoom for livestream
Zazenkai is the coming together of the Sangha as well as anyone with an interest in Zen, to practice for an extended period of silent meditation. It allows those who have never sat for an extended period to do so with other practitioners so as to give support and a conducive space for that purpose. It seems also that without these extended periods of meditation, finding ease and joy in Zazen can take a very long time.
The day will be a combination of both seated and walking meditation. A vegetarian lunch will be served at noon. Please arrive 10 minutes early so we can all start on time together, and for any instructions.
