The Dharma Zen Community gather together in their beautiful garden located in Los Angeles to practice sitting and walking meditation. Due to the pandemic they are organizing meditation sessions and talks followed by a Q&A by their Zen Master teachers. They are also organizing a hybrid one-day retreat once a month with a visiting teacher. Dharma Zen Center was founded in Los Angeles by Zen Master Seung Sahn.
The Zen Master encourages his students to live together in Zen Centers so they support each other within their practice. Through continuous practice, students recognize how our individual opinions create problems by separating us from each other. The established rules within the center are designed to help people see how our opinions and inattentive minds create division and suffering. With effort and dedication, we can find relief from our suffering and overcome our hindrances.
The Kwan Um School of Zen is a international Zen Buddhist organization founded by the Korean Zen master Seung Sahn. The organization is named after the Kwan Um ("Perceiving the World") Zen lineage, which Seung Sahn transmitted to his students. The Kwan Um School of Zen has temples, centers, and groups in more than 30 countries around the world.
