We are the Empty Moon Zen Network

Together we are exploring the great way

We are a community of both lay and ordained Buddhists united by a common practice. We offer meditation in the Zen style, as well as koan introspection—the path of words and freedom within the constraints of our human condition. We have evening sits, longer one-day sits, study sessions, and multiple-day long intensive retreats. Also join us for chanting services, ceremonies, talks, and classes.

The Buddha taught that spiritual friendships were the whole of the spiritual life. Together we are four sanghas (and counting). ​We hope you can join us.

"To study the Buddha Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things. When actualized by myriad things, your body and mind as well as the bodies and minds of others drop away. No trace of enlightenment remains, and this no-trace continues endlessly."
