Welcome to SFZC's Online Practice Center

Creating a Community with No Borders

About Us

Welcome to the virtual home for the SFZC community to gather, connect, study, and belong. This is the fourth practice center of San Francisco Zen Center, and once you step inside its virtual doors, you’ll find a welcoming space where you can meet with people who are just as passionate about Zen as you are. This space connects online practitioners from around the globe with each other and residents and teachers at San Francisco Zen Center’s three temples. 

Who should join us?

Everyone with an interest in Zen Buddhism is welcome to join SFZC’s online community. Sangha is the Third Jewel of Buddhism, and belonging to a community of Zen practitioners is one way we support each other’s practice–whether you’re sitting in a virtual or a physical meditation hall. It’s free to join!

We are grateful

We are grateful for your interest in practicing Zen for the benefit of all beings. And for your interest in becoming a member of our online community. Deep bows.
