Ordinary Mind Zendo was founded in 1996 by Barry Magid, a Dharma heir of Charlotte Joko Beck. We are dedicated to her vision of a psychologically minded Zen practice adapted to the needs of American students practicing in the context of our everyday lives. Our zendo is committed to the proposition that the Dharma can be fully practiced, realized and transmitted in the midst of lay life.
You can email [email protected] for beginner's instruction if you're new to Zen practice, or with any questions you might have about our zendo.
