NEW YORK
ZEN COMMUNITY FOR DŌGEN STUDY

New York Zen Community is a sangha dedicated to Shikantaza Zazen and Dōgen study. We offer lectures exploring the teachings of Dōgen Zenji and other Buddhist texts, with a focus on their practical relevance and integration into daily life.
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.

Explore new opportunities for practice and study by joining our ongoing lecture series.

Dōgen’s record of his private conversations with Nyojō Zenji on Zen practice and dharma.

We gather each month to sew Buddhist robes - a practice inspired by Sawaki Rōshi’s teachings.

Mondō is an opportunity for Zen students to ask questions and engage in dialogues with a teacher.

Registration is now open for our 3 day Summer Sesshin.
