What we’re about
Angel City Zen Center is a Soto Zen Buddhist group that meets throughout the week in Echo Park in Los Angeles, CA.
Our main practice is shikantaza (just sitting) zazen (sitting meditation). Our day generally consists of two 30 minutes periods of zazen followed by a lecture/discussion.
Please don't let the lack of RSVPs discourage you from coming. We are a long established group. Most of our members are not Meetup members and do not RSVP.
We hope you'll join our motley, but dedicated band of misfits!

Get down and nerdy with ACZC's take on koan study: half hour sit, followed by tea and a discussion of a koan from Nishijima's translation of Dogen's Shinji Shobogenjo. There no right or wrong answers here! Just freewheeling group discussions that rarely go where you'd predict. If you don't know what koans are, don't worry! We're not exactly sure still either. Come help us try and find out.
Please note that Wednesday koan nights are on Zoom only.
Please email us at [email protected] for the Zoom link.
