A Zen Practice Community

London Zen Centre (LZC) is a gathering place for Zen practice, which we carry out through meditation, koans, retreats, the arts, work and community. Its also a place to be with others on the same path. We explore what its like to live an awakened life in todays culture and time.

We usually only view life from certain vantage points and act accordingly. However if we look carefully there is nothing holding us to these vantage points, there are no fences or barriers. Its a big step into freedom when we realize life doesn't have to look a certain way. It can be slightly uncomfortable at first, when we start moving around and seeing new worlds, but joy and insight soon takes over. This is "Life without borders", and why should Zen be any different. Not being stuck to a particular view of Zen is "Zen without borders".

If you would like to learn about Zen and freedom, you are invited to attend the Introduction to Zen Class, participate in a Koan Group, or come to a Tuesday evening orientation to the Zen Centre.

The London Zen Centre, part of the Pacific Zen School, is a Not For Profit Corporation supported and run by volunteers.
