Silence transforms our minds

Jisen, great granddaughter
This is how the practice was handed down; I was trained in the Soto Zen tradition within the Katagiri lineage. These photographs are offered in gratitude to Katagiri, my great grandfather teacher and to all my teachers and mentors who have offered guidance. What I want for everyone who finds their way to Zen Center, is to explore meditation, koans, and feel at ease to ask questions.
Zazen is alive, indescribable, and beyond description. You can't learn meditation, you have to experience it. Maybe it will touch your heart and ignite curiosity. For instance, we can explore the body relaxing and tune into the natural forces of gravity and 'being breathed'. It's reflexive, how could we make it happen? 
All of this is an invitation to open your heart. Everyone is welcome. Come with a willingness to explore and jump into being fully alive. It will be lovely having you dance with us.
