Zen is both something you are and something you do. It is the fundamental experience of reality and a practice through which you realize the joys and sorrows of being a human being. On the one hand, Zen is about the most important things in your life – who are you? how do you fit within the world? what is this? On the other hand, Zen is about the ordinary things in your life – how you eat breakfast, how you treat children, or how you care for your environment.
The Zen path finds its roots within the teachings of the Buddha. Enriched by encounters with the sages of China and Japan, and now also through additional meetings with cultures across the globe. Zen is accessible to anyone who wishes to explore the contours of their mind and the shape of their heart.
