Leeds Zen Group

Leeds Zen Group meets three times a week at Woodhouse Community Centre to practice zazen. This is silent, seated, objectless meditation. We sit still and upright, offering our complete attention to each moment.

Central to Zen Practice is the practice of zazen – simply sitting, not grasping at the thoughts and emotions that arise within us, nor rejecting them, but allowing them to pass by. Through this, naturally, unconsciously and automatically, we become aware that many of our everyday preoccupations are not so important, and that clinging tightly to them brings suffering to us and to others.

If you have any questions or wish to arrange an introduction please contact John on 07946 476471.
