Kannon Do Zen Meditation Center brings the tradition of Soto Zen Buddhism to the San Francisco peninsula and the South Bay. We come together to sit, study Buddhist teachings and explore the meaning of Zen practice in our everyday lives. We invite you to join us in this practice. Named after Kannon, the Buddhist personification of compassion, the center provides a supportive environment in which centuries-old teachings and traditions complement the creative and caring spirit of contemporary America.
Kannon Do is a non-residential center, voluntarily maintained and supported by its members. There are no membership requirements to participate in its activities. The non-residential nature encourages a sense of ownership and responsibility among us all.
