Welcome to Zen Buddhism

The Cleveland Zazen Group, an affiliate of the Rochester Zen Center, has been meeting together for over 30 years. Presently, we are in Cleveland Heights. Regular sittings (meditation) are every Tuesday evening from 7:30-8:30 p.m.


We also meet every Sunday morning at 9 a.m. for zazen (sitting meditation) followed by a recorded teisho (sermon or dharma talk) by Roshi Bodhin Kjolhede of the Rochester Zen Center. Twice a month on Sundays...from 11 to noon...we have brunch together.


There are informal sittings on Thursday evenings, from 7:45 until 8:30 and Friday morning sittings from 6:15 to 7:30 a.m. (for early risers). Periodically, there are all-day sittings and Introductory Workshops. Introduction to Zen meditation practice can be arranged for interested individuals.


There are no accidents! If you have come to this website, you have questions about your life, about pain and suffering, about meaning, peace, or your own personhood. You may have done some reading on Zen, on Buddhism, or on meditation. But, as the old masters have said “Painted cakes do not satisfy hunger.”
