History

Established in 2003.

Prajna Zendo, a community Zen Center, has two qualified teachers – Musai Walter Roshi and his dharma successor, Daishin Brighton Sensei. We offer a broad based practice, including koan study, shikantaza (just sitting), and Big Mind practice. Koan study and shikantaza are the traditional practices of the Rinzai and Soto schools respectively. Big Mind practice is a teaching recently developed by Genpo Roshi that joins traditional Zen practice with the insights of Western psychology and provides rapid and dramatic insights into our Buddha Nature. Musai Roshi’s lineage includes both Rinzai and Soto practices, through his root teacher, Maezumi Roshi, and authorization from Genpo Roshi to teach the Big Mind process. This combination presents those who undertake to practice at Prajna Zendo a rare opportunity to Realize their True Nature, and to bring that Realization into all aspects of life.
