Welcome to the Zen Group of
Pittsburgh
We are the local affiliate of the Kwan Um School
of Zen, an international network of Zen Centers under the direction of founding
Zen Master Seung Sahn, Dae Soen Sa Nim. Our Sangha practices Zen based on
the Korean tradition. We offer meditation instruction and hold weekly sitting
and chanting meditation practice.
Weekly Regular Practice
Regular practice consists of 30 minutes of chanting and 30 minutes of silent sitting
meditation, followed by the reading of a teaching letter. Chanting books are provided.
Introduction to Meditation
Practice on the first Wednesday of each month contains some
additional instruction about meditation by one of our members.
Beginners are welcome any Wednesday, of course.
Retreats
Zen Group of Pittsburgh holds approximately 4 retreats
per year locally. They are generally one day retreats held
on a Saturday preceded by a public talk on Friday. Please
