New to Zen? Everyone is welcome. Zen is very easy to learn. Ocean Light Zen Center shares meditation practice each Sunday at the Four Aims Yoga Studio in West Seattle and downtown on Wednesday nights. If you have never been to Zen practice before, no problem - just show up! It will take only about 15 minutes to show you the basics and answer some questions. The best way to understand what Zen can do for you is to try it, so off we go... You can RSVP for practice if you like, stay informed about practice times and events at our Online Sangha at meetup.com Joining is free, there is no spam, and you will always be informed about our group's activities.

In each moment, when truth appears, there is a situation, a relationship and a correct function.  How will you respond? Wake up!  Respond with great love and great compassion.
