Sangha: Bozeman Zen Group (Soto Zen Tradition)
We are open to all who are interested in Zen practice and those curious about basic Buddhist practice. Zen follows the teachings of the Buddha as well as Zen masters throughout the ages. Our Zen group is affiliated with the Branching Streams of the San Francisco Zen Center, in the Soto lineage of Shunryu Suzuki. Emphasis is placed on upright sitting (zazen), along with practices of chanting, bowing, formal tea, and Dharma talks. Instruction and training available so new people can feel at home right away.
To stop your mind does not mean to stop the activities of mind. It means your mind pervades your whole body. —Shunryu Suzuki
And remember to unplug the tea kettle when finished.
