The Cloud Water Zen Centre was founded by members of the Zen Buddhist Society, a European Zen Buddhist organisation, which is based in Sweden. We are part of the Cloud-Water Sangha, a group of independent Zen Centres which has grown out of the work of Roshi Philip Kapleau and the Rochester Zen Center.

 

The aim of the Cloud Water Zen Centre is to provide a dedicated space where people can explore Zen Buddhist training and practice, right in the heart of Glasgow.

 

We meet weekly to practise zazen (Zen meditation), as well as holding regular weekend events including half and whole day zazen meetings, public talks, sesshin (intensive residential meditation retreats) and regular introductions for people interested in finding out more about Zen Buddhism.

News:

We have an Introduction to Zen on Saturday 16th November. This is a great way to find out more about Zen practice and to try it out. Just get in touch if you'd like more information

On Sunday 17th November we will hold an all-day sitting (zazenkai). This runs from 10.00am through to around 15.00pm. It includes a talk (teisho) in the morning and dokusan and chanting in the afternoon and is a nice opportunity to do a little extended sitting, especially for people who are newer to practice. 

Great is the matter of birth and death.
Life slips quickly by.
Time waits for no one.
Wake up! Wake up!
Don't waste a moment.
