The Village Zendo is a Zen community in the heart of downtown New York City. Serving as a sanctuary in busy Manhattan, we offer daily meditation, dharma talks, Buddhist services, retreats, workshops and study groups. Participation is open to all.
In addition to our weekly practice on Monday nights we also host a monthly day of zazen practice from 9:00 am to 2:00 pm on the last Saturday of each month.
Zen practice opportunities at Walking Tree Zen also include individual study with a zen teacher, weekend and weeklong meditation retreats, traditional Zen Buddhist liturgy, social gatherings and volunteer service to others in our community.
