Confluence Zen Center STL

A St. Louis based Zen community dedicated to zazen

Zen Center closed for the Japanese Festival

As most of you know, CZC works the entire Japanese Festival with our food tent. Because of that, during Labor Day weekend, we will be closed 31 Aug and 01 Sep.

It’s not too late to volunteer for a shift, but if you can’t, stop by our test and say hi and/or get some food!

Confluence Zen will be having an Introduction to Zen and Zen Meditation class beginning 11 Sept, going for the five subsequent Thursdays from 7:00pm to 8:30pm.

If you are new to Zen and meditation or just want to refresh your knowledge, all are welcome.

The cost for the series is $50 for non-members and $25 for members.

If you wish to attend, you may email confluencezen@gmail.com or call 314.669.4465. Or let Myoshin know at any zazen session.

Book signing of Daigaku’s latest Translation

On November 19th, Confluence Zen Center had a book signing and talk around Daigaku’s latest translation effort, The Formless Record of the Transmission of Illumination, a commentary by Inoue Gien Roshi on Keizan Zenji’s Denkoroku.

The event was well attended and Dagaku gave a speech on the work, its relevance, why he chose this work for his next translation, and of course took questions.

Soon, we will post the entire lecture given by Daigaku at the event.
