BZC

Berkeley Zen Center was established in 1967 by our late teachers Sojun Mel Weitsman Roshi and Shunryu Suzuki Roshi... Zazen-meditation, or sitting in stillness-is the center of our practice, following and adapting the traditions of Soto Zen Buddhism. At BZC our everyday activity, as it extends from zazen, is the field where practice finds its full expression... Silvie, Genpo, and I are very encouraged by the progress he continues to make in his recovery. We are also deeply grateful for the many bedside visits and expressions of concern, and for the way the BZC community has seamlessly carried on the practice at Russell Street.
