Our Zen meditation center is located in beautiful San Diego and provides an environment where people can learn and practice Zen meditation. It is our mission to support participants in practicing the path of awakening in order to live more fully with kindness, compassion and appreciation. In addition, there is a strong focus on cultivating clarity and equanimity within the high-speed confusion of everyday life.
Willingness: acknowledging and embracing whatever life presents - including anger, fear, shame and confusion - as the path of awakening. Loving-kindness: awakening to the loving-kindness and compassion that are the nature of our being. ZCSD, part of the White Plum Zen Lineage, is unaffiliated with any particular religious denomination.

I attended the Zen Center years ago and was pleased that is is still going strong. When I attended, we did silent meditations, heard dharma talks, had private consultations, and performed walking meditations. These activities helped the persons attending to control their minds and decrease their suffering.
