Zazen (sitting meditation) is at the heart of Zen. It opens the eye to wisdom and the heart to compassion. When you sit in Zazen, you return to the present moment again and again. In this way you learn to experience your life vividly, without a veil of thoughts and fantasies clouding your mind.

Zen practice prepares a ground for the grace of awakening. It is a way of transformation with many different facets:
- practising Zazen
- listening to talks
- entering into retreats
- participating in workshops
- experiencing a Teacher face-to-face in Dokusan
- studying texts
