The Zen Centre of Vancouver provides a place, instruction and community practice for Zen Buddhism. Come look and join the various programs to truly awaken to life!! www.zen.ca
A Refuge of Wisdom - We uphold the Buddhist wisdom tradition called Zen that has passed down down through the ages; and now a relevant, Western style is emerging. The Zen Centre of Vancouver has evolved from a small sitting group in 1967 to the mature centre of today. Here, all are welcome to practice awakening to the reality of oneness and its compassionate actualization.
A Vibrant Community - A yearning for self-realization brought practitioners together when Zen Master Joshu Sasaki first visited Vancouver in 1966. Continuous effort, growth and support over the ensuing decades have built a genuine Zen centre for present and future generations. Our strong practice, well-designed facility, committed community and extensive Zen programs led by our abbot and teacher, Eshin Godfrey, are ingredients for real change and growth.
Creating a Better World - The Zen Center of Vancouver students and friends provide the environment that enables a genuine and deep practice to take root and blossom. Gradually, an open-hearted and involved life becomes manifest, contributing to a better world.
Programs include newcomers instruction, daily zazen, one and seven day retreats, and a training program with the option of residency.
An awakened way of living.
