Zen Center of Georgia



The Zen Center of Georgia is a small Rinzai Zen community offering a variety of opportunities for Zen training. We are one of the few Rinzai Zen groups serving the greater Atlanta area, particularly the East Atlanta community.


We offer weekly meditation sessions that include seated meditation (Zazen), chanting (okyō), and walking meditation (Kinhin), all of which are integrated components of our Zen practice. Several times a year, we hold overnight retreats (Zazenkai). We also participate in intensive, multiday retreats (Sesshin) several times a year with our parent temple, Daiyuzen-ji in Chicago, and at our affiliated monastery, Korinji, outside Madison, Wisconsin.

We are an open and welcoming community of individuals from diverse backgrounds who have come together to support one another in our Zen practice. Beginners are always welcome.


If you are in the greater Atlanta area and are interested in meditation, beginning Zen practice, or simply visiting one of our sessions, we welcome you. Although we accept donations, all of our training opportunities are available free of charge.


If you would like to learn more about our group or our practice, please feel free to contact us.


We accept donations which are tax deductible under IRS Tax code 501(c)(3).

  

Lao Tzu said, "If we learn, we gain in knowledge day by day. If we act according to the Way, we lose day by day. We keep losing until we no longer possess anything to do. In non-action we do everything."


The same is true in the Way of Zen.
