Dharma Field welcomes everyone to the teachings and practice of Zen Buddhism. The center, founded in 1997 by Steve Hagen, offers meditation instruction, a daily meditation schedule, and sesshins (retreats). We also offer classes in Buddhism and Zen as well as related subjects. Join us, in person or online, in the study and practice of this rich tradition, which is no less relevant today as it was in its beginnings in India over 2500 years ago.

Report
Wisdom and Compassion~(Roshis) Steve Hagen and Norm Randolph are incredible teachers~accessible and helpful having the presence that comes from many years of practice. Go to Sunday morning talks and meet afterwards downstairs for tea, or Wednesday evenings. Listen to Sunday morning talks free online...or start the classes in the fall. Great place to just go and sit in peace. We are so fortunate to have this jewel of a place and these precious teachers right here in Minneapolis.
