Santa Cruz Zen Center

Santa Cruz Zen Center We practice present open awareness in sitting meditation and in daily life in the Soto Zen tradition.

We offer daily meditation, weekly lectures, classes, workshops, workdays, one to seven-day meditation retreats and ceremonies. The purpose of Santa Cruz Zen Center is to embody and communicate the teachings of the Buddha. Our understanding of the non-duality of compassion and wisdom, practice and realization, has been conveyed through the Soto School. The focus of our center is on integrating Zen practice and everyday life. Our teaching is in the Suzuki Roshi lineage of San Francisco Zen Center.
