ZEN STUDIES SOCIETY

The Zen Studies Society was established in 1956 to assist the Buddhist scholar D.T. Suzuki in his efforts to introduce Zen to the West. ZSS is one of the oldest organizations dedicated to the practice of Rinzai Zen in the United States... The Zen Studies Society is a Buddhist community dedicated to realizing and actualizing our true nature. Cultivating an atmosphere of respect, harmony, deep insight, and boundless compassion, we offer the simple yet profound teachings and practice of Zen Buddhism at our mountain monastery and our city temple under the auspices of ZSS... The Zen Studies Society maintains two practice centers and a close association with the Zen Center of Syracuse Hoen-ji. Other related centers include Endless Mountain Zendo in Pennsylvania, Charles River Zen in Massachusetts, Hollow Bones, and Chisoku-an in Meadow Lake, Saskatchewan.
