At Buddha Soto Zen we embrace zazen as undefiled sitting meditation, the ground of Buddha’s wisdom and compassion that manifest in our daily lives as Daishin. Daishin is the Magnanimus Mind that, like the ocean receives all the water coming from all different rivers, without making any discrimination among them.
Thus, Daishin Zendo is an urban practice place where everybody can practice the Buddha Dharma being embraced and embracing all beings, putting aside for some minutes our agitation and worries.
We also aim to do Spanish translations of Buddhist teachings in an effort to make available those wonderful teachings to Hispanic communities all over the world.
