About:
About Houston Zen Center is a place for all people to study and practice meditation in the Zen tradition. Story The Houston Zen Center offers daily meditation, classes on Buddhism and meditation, and meditation/study retreats. On Saturdays, the Center holds service that includes meditation, a lecture by a teacher, a Q&A session, and refreshments. The Center is the heart of our practice and allows us to practice meditation on a daily basis. Practicing together in a shared space is the essence of Zen. Many of our members maintain meditation practice at their homes, coming to the Center on a weekly or monthly basis: this is understood to be an extension of the shared space that we maintain together. We also share longer retreats, led by the Abiding Teacher, senior members, and visiting Dharma Teachers. Zen emphasizes putting meditative awareness into activity. Thus, we work together as a meditation. Maintaining and expanding our grounds and garden, caring for the Center’s buildings, cooking and cleaning during the retreats, learning to play the bells and drums for service — these are some of the activities of mindfulness-in-action that deepens Zen practice. Mission The Houston Zen Center encourages and facilitates the study and practice of Zen in one's own life and in shared practice.
