Welcome to Lotus Heart Zen
This small Zen practice group gathers to chant, meditate and study the principles and practice of Buddhism. Lotus Heart Zen offers instruction in Zen, Pure Land, and foundational Buddhism, while providing an open and affirming place where people can come together as a community that encourages a life of mindfulness, personal awakening, and helping others. The Lotus Heart Zen sangha welcomes individuals from all backgrounds, faith traditions, all walks of life, and experience levels.
Our practice is established on the foundation of ahiṃsā (dynamic non-harming compassion):
Ahiṃsā Paramo Dharma
Ahiṃsā is the highest Dharma, Ahiṃsā is the highest self-control,
Ahiṃsā is the greatest gift, Ahiṃsā is the best practice,
Ahiṃsā is the highest sacrifice, Ahiṃsā is the finest strength,
Ahiṃsā is the greatest friend, Ahiṃsā is the greatest happiness,
Ahiṃsā is the highest truth, and Ahiṃsā is the greatest teaching.
