Zen center

Buddhist practice space

A Zen center is a place where people practice Zen Buddhism, typically offering meditation sessions, instruction, and community gatherings.

Centers range from modest urban spaces holding weekly sits to residential monasteries with full-time practitioners: She started going to the Zen center on Tuesday evenings.

Most welcome newcomers regardless of religious background.
