New to Zazen?

Fukan Zazengi

In our tradition, the best description of how to sit Zazen comes from Master Dogen, the teacher who first brought the Soto Zen Lineage from China to Japan in the 13th Century. Please find our link to the text of the Fukanzazengi below.

Please do consider watching our Series of Talks for Beginners after reading the Zazen instructions.
