Zen is the practice of

open-hearted engagement

with ever-unfolding being.

​

Zen is grounded in awareness

of the fundamental beauty

and dignity of all life,

and we endeavor to manifest

these qualities in our actions

of body, speech, and mind.

​

Zen practice is to awaken

to the interconnected nature

of all things, freeing us

from narrow self-centered

preoccupations and supporting

us as instruments of real peace

wherever we are.
