Mission

Rinzai-ji Zen Center is an urban meditation center that offers daily Zen practice and the opportunity for residential Zen practice. Rinzai-ji also serves as the main temple of Rinzai-ji, Inc., an organization of temples founded by Joshu Sasaki Roshi. Several times during the year Buddhist ceremonies are performed at Rinzai-ji and Dai-sesshin with the Abbott, Joshu Roshi, is held.

The mission of Rinzai-ji is to serve the local and regional community as a place for Zen studies, a place for reflection and insight.

The spacious Zendo invites everyone to participate in the formal Zazen practice, to join their voices in the daily recitation and chanting practice.

There are many ways in which one can engage at Rinzai-ji and everyone is welcome to join our community.
