Core Practices

All practices at Zen Garland revolve around awakening and cultivating our ability to live in unity with wisdom and compassion. First and foremost, we follow Dogen Zenji’s core teaching:

To study Buddhism is to study the self.
To study the self is to forget the self.
To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things.

We offer training across the following seven core areas of practice as a means of actualizing these ideas into our living space.
