What we’re about
We meet regularly across Los Angeles including the foothills, the Valley, and WLA (UCLA). We have a big festival every year at the State Park in DTLA (meetup.com/zen-07.)
Our main practice sessions and Dharma talks are held weekly on Thursdays at 7:00 pm in Pasadena at the Ahiah Center for Spiritual Living, 150 N. El Molino Ave. near Colorado Blvd.
Explore Buddhist meditation and mindfulness practices, yoga, and other spiritual traditions. Learn, share, enjoy vegan snacks, and apply ancient methods to go with the flow of our modern American lives. We are all about group readings, inspirational talks, group sharing, mindful hugs, yoga poses and ecstatic breathing, discussions, and kind eating.
We cover three basic meditations during Thursday sessions: serenity for stages of absorption (samadhi), mindful movement for insight (vipassana), and boundless loving-kindness (metta) to break down the barriers. Free, supported completely by donations and volunteers. Get more involved.

Since sitting zazen is strenuous on the bum, we may have group yoga and yogic massage available, if people are not too distracted from putting CBD in their pipes and who knows what else. Our goal is to get Cypress Hill to join us at The Vibes Stage before they go on at 4:00 pm, which is when we join them so we can rap-rock out to "Ain't Going Out Like That" (from Black Sunday).
