Big Mind Western Zen Center

Kanzeon Zen Center works to pass along the deep and profound truths of Zen Buddhism. Zen is one of the most ancient and widely respected wisdom traditions. For over 2500 years the Buddha's insights and views have stayed as relevant to the day-to-day lives of regular people as food, sleep, hope and love. And taking a few minutes to meditate each day adds to your life in so many ways.
