The Cedar Rapids Zen Center was founded in January 2000 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Its goal is to promote the practice of Zen Buddhism in the Soto-Zen tradition by providing opportunities for Zen meditation, spiritual practice, religious study and community fellowship. They follow the teachings of the historical Buddha as they have been handed down from India through China and Japan to the United States.

CRZC offers morning and evening zazen (sitting meditation), as outlined in its daily schedule. CRZC also hosts frequent all-day sittings, sesshins (three-day silent sittings), and introductory classes on a recurring basis; see the calendar of events for details. Anyone is welcome to practice or study at the Cedar Rapids Zen Center. Diversity of age, race, gender, abilities, sexual orientation, and religious faith enhances the sangha (community).
