NEW YORK ZEN COMMUNITY
FOR DŌGEN STUDY
The Original Face
Spring, flowers
Summer, cuckoos
Autumn, the moon
Winter, snow does not melt
All seasons pure and upright

Part of a global network of disciples and students of Okumura Shōhaku Rōshi of the Sōtō Zen School of Japan, we are under the direct lineage of Sawaki Kōdō, Uchiyama Kōshō and Okumura Shōhaku.

An expanding collection of resources is being curated to support independent Buddhist study.
