Zen Talks and Teachings

by Zen Studies Society

Religion

Talks, Teishos, and Teachings by Shinge Roko Sherry Chayat Roshi, Chigan Roshi Roland Jaeckel, Hokuto Daniel Diffin Osho, senior students, and guest teachers of the Zen Studies Society. The Zen Studies Society is a Buddhist community dedicated to realizing and actualizing our true nature. Cultivating an atmosphere of respect, harmony, deep insight, and boundless compassion, we offer the simple yet profound teachings and practice of Zen Buddhism at our mountain monastery and our city temple under the auspices of ZSS. The Zen Studies Society was established in 1956 to support the Buddhist scholar D.T. Suzuki in his efforts to introduce Zen to the West, and is one of the oldest Zen Buddhist organizations in the United States.
