THE SAN MATEO ZEN COMMUNITY

We are a welcoming sangha of folks from all walks of life ~ professionals, craft workers, students, homemakers ~ who join together to create a culture of transformation.
The word “Zen” itself means meditation, and is at once immediate and ancient. Into our sitting we often drop Zen koans ~ stories of our founders that help us explore and find freedom.
