What we’re about

Sun Mountain Zen is a group for anyone interested in learning about and practicing authentic Zen meditation in Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.

We meet Mondays in East Brisbane to practice. 7pm to 8.30 pm. A group also practices in Kenilworth on the Sunshine Coast on Wednesdays 5:30pm to 7pm.

Most practice evenings consist of 3 silent meditation periods (Zazen) lasting 25 minutes each. This is interspersed with 5 min of walking meditation (Kinhin) and optional private interviews for those wishing to discuss their Zen practice with a teacher. Koan study is also available for those interested in becoming Zen students.

Mats, meditation stools, chairs and cushions are available and no experience is necessary. Please wear loose fitting clothing. Newcomers will be introduced to the practice of meditation and to the group. A suggested donation of $5.00 to cover hall costs is appreciated.

For more information visit www.sunmountainzen.org.au

All welcome, just turn up.
