What we’re about
Zen (Chan) represents an unbroken line of teachings and teachers, traced back over 1,500 years at Shaolin temple in China, where Master Bodhidharma, an enlightened Indian monk traveling all the way from India to central China to spread the teachings of Zen, integrated and harmonized it with various local practices that led generations of practitioners to clarity, truth, fulfillment, and inner peace.
We are a group of practitioners following the teachings of the 85th Patriarch of the School of Zen, who dedicated his entire life to enable us to also be able to walk the path towards enlightenment.
Through sitting meditation, we can transcend the limitations of our body, our conscious and subconscious mind, and to become in sync with our heart and uncover the most natural expressions of compassion and joy in each and every moment of our lives.
We welcome all of you to join our practice, the journey becomes much easier when many people work together and help each other along the way.
