Brooklyn Zen Center is a Gowanus/Park Slope, Brooklyn–based Soto Zen community in the tradition of San Francisco Zen Center’s founder, Shunryu Suzuki. The community’s founding students came from both San Francisco Zen Center and Austin Zen Center, where they studied with dharma teachers from both centers.

The intention of this community is to maintain a space for sitting together in meditation (zazen), to offer a place to study Buddhist ethics and practice, and to embody the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha as it has been carried down through the Soto Zen tradition, first established by Eihei Dogen Zenji in the 13th century and brought to us by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and our current teachers. The formal name for our space of Buddhist practice is Koshin-ji, or Boundless Mind Temple. We continue to practice in this tradition with the belief that all beings are buddha.
