I have been attending the Puget Sound Zen Center, both on Vashon and more recently in West Seattle,…read morefor about three years. It is a wonderfully open, cheerful, and thoughtful community, both for experienced practitioners and for those coming for the first time. There are great tips for first-timers here: https://pszc.org/new-to-zen/. I would add two quick things if you are coming for the first time. First, it is a good idea to arrive 15-20 minutes early, regardless of which meditation you attend. It is helpful to get a few pointers on where to sit and what to expect. People will be glad to offer suggestions, and there is always someone assigned specifically to help newcomers. Just ask for "the Shoji." Second, if you do not need wheelchair access, the entrance is right up the steps in the front of the building. The front is the side that looks out on the driveway where you drove in. Like Zen itself, the place has many doors. Like Zen itself, this can be a little confusing. If you need a more accessible entrance, the double doors will be on your right. If they are not open, just knock and someone will no doubt let you in. There is also a satellite Zen Center in West Seattle that meets on Monday nights at Fauntleroy UCC. You can find the schedule and other information for both Zen Centers here: https://pszc.org/.

When you first start, it might feel foreign, very different, but don't let that dissuade you; the practice, here, is to be true to the discipline while also learning how to teach & apply it in our culture. I also love that there are so many ways to be involved -- from working in the meditation garden, or working in the food garden (food is donated to the food bank), the Racial Healing group - or sitting in meditation on Zoom (every day there's at least one sit). But the thing I appreciate the most is the feeling I get that everyone is sincere, not judgmental or self-righteous. Really just learning how to practice no-self and, from within, transform greed, hatred and ignorance (the vows we say at every sit).

Beautiful Temple of Thien phai Truc Lam in Seattle. So proud of Thien Vien Truc Lam Minh Chanh…read more Please read more about this particular Meditation Center at: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trúc_Lâm Thiền phái Trúc Lâm (zh. 竹林禪派) là một tông phái của Thiền tông Việt Nam, hình thành từ thời nhà Trần, do Vua Trần Nhân Tông sáng lập. Trúc Lâm vốn là hiệu của Trần Nhân Tông từ khi xuất gia ở động Vũ Lâm (Ninh Bình), đồng thời cũng là hiệu của Thiền sư Đạo Viên, tiền bối của Trần Nhân Tông, Tổ thứ hai của dòng Thiền này. Thiền phái Trúc Lâm có ba Thiền sư kiệt xuất là Nhân Tông (Trúc Lâm Đầu Đà), Pháp Loa, và Huyền Quang (gọi chung là Trúc Lâm Tam tổ). Thiền phái này được xem là tiếp nối, nhưng cũng đồng thời là sự hợp nhất của ba dòng Thiền Việt Nam có từ trước đó là phái Thảo Đường, Vô Ngôn Thông và Tì-ni-đa-lưu-chi, cùng với sự pha trộn ảnh hưởng của tông Lâm Tế. Với việc lập ra phái Trúc Lâm, Vua Trần Nhân Tông đã thống nhất các Thiền phái tồn tại trước đó và toàn bộ giáo hội Phật Giáo đời Trần về một mối.

A very beautiful, peaceful, and calm place! Great place to…read morepractice meditation. Must visit to experience the peacefulness and calmness of this gems.
