Welcome to the website for the london zen groups

London zen groups meet regularly to practice zazen - the core practice in the Soto Zen tradition.

Zazen is a form of meditation - it is wholehearted upright sitting. We sit as the Buddha sat, silent and still in the calm posture of awakening.

Beginners are always welcome! Please plan on attending a brief introduction first, See Participate/Join In for more information.

"The time to start worrying is when neither words nor experiences are new any longer.
How many times can you breathe this breath?"

~ Nan Shin Nancy Amphoux
