The Cedar Rapids Zen Center, nestled in Cedar Rapids, IA, has been a serene sanctuary since its establishment in January 2000. Embracing the rich tradition of Soto Zen Buddhism, this center is a haven for those seeking spiritual growth and community connection. Honoring the lineage of the historical Buddha, our practices resonate with ancient wisdom passed down from India to China, then Japan, and finally to the United States. The daily rhythm at the center includes morning and evening zazen sessions, inviting individuals to immerse themselves in the profound art of sitting meditation. At the Cedar Rapids Zen Center, diversity flourishes within our sangha, welcoming individuals from all walks of life to engage in Zen meditation, spiritual exploration, and communal harmony. Beyond regular zazen sessions, the center offers immersive experiences such as all-day sittings and three-day silent retreats, known as sesshins. Whether you are a seasoned practitioner or a curious newcomer, our doors are open to all who seek solace, wisdom, and a deeper connection to the self and others in the peaceful ambiance of our Zen haven.
