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:

The Zen Centre is participating in Glasgow Doors Open Day weekend (Saturday 21st / Sunday 22nd). We're open for guided tours and visits. Feel free to come along if you'd like to find out more and have a look around

We have an Introduction to Zen on Saturday 5th October. 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

There's a great article about the Zen Centre in the Glasgow Evening Times (5th June). If you'd like to check it out you can find it here:

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.
