Brooklyn Zen Center
Brooklyn, NY, USA
Brooklyn Zen Center practices in the Soto Zen tradition out of Boundless Mind Temple in Cobble Hill, with a second zendo — Ancestral Heart Temple — in Millerton, NY. The center emphasizes what it calls personal and collective liberation, weaving engaged practice groups alongside traditional zazen, dharma study, and sesshin. Programming includes healing rituals, interfaith dialogue, and jukai ceremonies. The community also offers regular daylongs and a Saturday morning program open to newcomers.
