Zen Center of Georgia

The Zen Center of Georgia is a small Rinzai Zen group offering a wide variety of types of Zen training. We offer meditational sits twice a week, including Zazen (sitting meditation), Okyo (chanting), and Kinhin (walking meditation). We hold a Zazenkai (overnight retreat) four to six times a year, and have Sesshin (intensive multiday retreats) with our parent Zen temple, Daiyuzen-ji in Chicago three times a year.

We are an open community from diverse backgrounds, together to support one another in our Zen training.

If you are interested in visiting our classes or beginning Zen practice, we welcome you. Beginners are always welcome. Our training is available to all at no charge. We accept donations and are a 501(c)(3) religious, non-profit organization, registered with the IRS.

If you wish to find out more about our group or practice, please feel free to contact us.

We accept donations which are tax deductible under IRS Tax code 501(c)(3).

Lao Tzu said, "If we learn, we gain in knowledge day by day. If we act according to the Way, we lose day by day. We keep losing until we no longer possess anything to do. In non-action we do everything."

The same is true of the Way of Zen.
