What we’re about
Zen Buddhist Temple is a community of Buddhist and meditation practitioners. Guided by Korean Zen tradition, we offer meditation services, classes, retreats as well as Buddhist studies and training. We're located in Chicago.
In this group we focus on the deep practice of meditation retreats. It is a period to free oneself from the concerns of daily life and absorb oneself completely in concentration. Our retreats provides a wonderful opportunity for discovering wisdom mind and developing a compassionate heart. Some of our retreats are instructional for those beginning a meditation practice, or for those wishing to refresh their practice after years of experience. Some of our other retreats are non-instructional, for experienced practitioners. Our retreats our open to all, regardless of religious affiliation or belief.
The fee structure for each retreat is specified in each event description. For more information, and to complete registration, please visit our website: www.zenbuddhisttemple.org
