Mountain Way Zen

Mountain Way Zen is a universal, egalitarian practice of Zen for wayfarers from various faiths and walks of life whose spiritual explorations have led them to the practices and teachings of Zen Buddhism. We feel an abiding respect for – and connection to – our fellow beings and the rest of the natural world, so much of our practice involves both serving others and wandering and dwelling in wild places.

By serving others, we move from an intellectual understanding that ‘we are all connected’ to an active realization of this fact. By venturing back into the earth and opening our hearts to the silent wisdom it offers, we become as the hermit sages of old, wandering amongst the wooded hills and white clouds.

Waiting for 
the pot to boil
the caffeine to kick in 
the car to warm 
the light to change 
the meeting to finish 
the shift to tend 
the traffic to clear 
the food to cook 
the timer to ding 
the show to start |
the weekend to arrive 
the retirement to come 
the conditions to be perfect 
this life to begin.
