We have found Zen Buddhism a rich treasure of practice and learning. Zen is an important school of East Asian Buddhism that constitutes the mainstream monastic form of Mahayana Buddhism in China, Korea, and Vietnam and accounts for approximately 20 percent of the Buddhist temples in Japan. In modern times, Zen has been identified especially with the secular arts of medieval Japan such as the tea ceremony, flower arranging, calligraphy, ink painting, gardening, and even martial arts. We will use the art of storytelling for moral education and Zen poetry to awaken our heart-mind to the possibility of human goodness.

The Sangha meets Monday evening at 7pm on Zoom. Login details will be found on our weekly agendas posted on Realm. To find out more, contact the Buddhist Sangha group leaders at buddhistsangha@uusic.org.
