PasaDharma Zen Group is open to people of all spiritual traditions and walks of life who would like to experience the life changing practice of meditation and awareness. We have been meeting in Pasadena for over 8 years. We get together in Pasadena CA, on Wednesday nights for a brief discussion of aspects of Zen Buddhism, to sit zazen, and to share fellowship with other like minded people. Normaly 12 to 15 people attend our weekly meeting. We invite anyone wishing to experience the dynamic stillness of Zen practice to join us.

We are open to anyone interested in Zen, neophyte or experienced practitioner. There is no fee or donation required, and we won't make you sign up for anything! We have quite a few floor cushions, but feel free to bring your own. Chairs are also available. So, come on out and discuss your practice informally, meet each other, and of course, just sit.

If you have never sat silent concentration meditation (zazen), we recommend arriving early for an introduction to the process before our regular meeting. Please contact us in advance to RSVP for sitting instruction, or for any other questions. Our web site is http://pasadharma.org
