Welcome!  

Zen is about an active life, an involved life.  
When we know our minds well
and the emotions that our thinking creates,
we tend to see better what our lives are about
and what needs to be done,
which is generally just the next task under our nose.
Zen is about a life of action,
not a life of passively doing nothing.
But our action must be based in reality.

The Zen Center of Philadelphia is a lay Buddhist center meant for ordinary
people who wish to learn meditation in the midst of their everyday lives of work,
study and relationship.   

Through zazen, interview with the teacher, and monthly day long retreats, and
practice in daily life, ZCP offers a community for practitioners to study together.
