Hazy Moon Zen Center - Koun-ji Temple

Many people seek peace of mind through Zen meditation. For others, Zen represents an authentic and ancient spiritual teaching whose unbroken line is traced to the very enlightenment of the Buddha. The Hazy Moon Zen Center in Los Angeles brings people together to learn classical Zen Buddhism, and to thereby enrich and invigorate their everyday lives.

We do so by practicing zazen, or Zen meditation, by working with a teacher, and by helping one another as a sangha, or community. Beginners find a friendly and unpretentious place to learn firsthand about Zen. More experienced practitioners find the familiar grace of the Japanese Zen tradition, whose elegant form we follow.
