Zen Center of Los Angeles

I first attended ZCLA over 30 yrs ago and the Center had a profound effect on my life. Thank you

Zen Center represents a more purest approach to Zen Buddhist Meditation practices. It is not filled with personalities, and those who have built up personal brands in theymeditatuin space that then call the teachings their own. This is a place for purists who which two find the teachings of Zen Buddhism delivered in a simple and highly palatable way.

One of the hidden jewels of Los Angeles. Genuine and friendly community will help anyone train in Zen practice and meditation. Beautiful grounds. All of teachers are wonderful and approachable. Highly recommend.

Get place to learn how to meditate. Plenty of class offerings, some are donation based and others a flat fee. Cool little book store. Urban location in heart of Koreatown

ZCLA takes up half a city block in a gritty but improving corner of Koreatown. Unlike many other famous teachers and gurus that came from Asia in the 60s and 70s, the founder had the foresight to cultivate a strong group of disciples. There is a lively group of teachers here offering frequent and practical events and instruction. The rental property on site ensures a sizeable and involved group of practitioners as well as a solid source of income. There is a bookstore/giftshop, dining hall and commercial kitchen, guest rooms for multi-day retreats, manicured grounds, a dedicated zendo and at least one other event space. So far, the speakers I've heard were very eloquent, insightful, and seemed sincere.
