Welcome to the Mt. Diablo Zen Group
Mt. Diablo Zen Group is led by Leslie Bartholic, Zen Teacher, and John Busch, Head Priest and Zen Teacher. This group meets Wednesday evenings for Zazen (meditation), study and discussion. Quarterly, a program is offered on Saturday morning (see calendar). Practice discussion with one of our teachers is available and strongly encouraged for ongoing students.
Zazen is meditation following the Soto Zen Buddhist tradition from Japan. In Zazen, we bring awareness to breath and posture and what’s going on in the mind. We carry this peaceful practice into the world and to each of our daily activities.
Join Leslie and John for Zazen, reading (currently: The Heart of Buddha’s Teaching by Thich Nhat Hanh) and discussion

The Saturday programs are silent with alternating periods of Zazen and kinhin (walking meditation), service, rest period, and Dharma talk.
All members are encouraged to establish a daily meditation practice, with consideration for their daily life schedule.
