Lancaster Zen is a Buddhist practice group in the Soto Zen tradition. It is dedicated to awakening to the reality of your life and living compassionately in this society and for the sake of all beings.

The core practice at the group is zazen, a meditation of wholeheartedly sitting here and now, being present in the fullness of reality.

We actively practice engaging and fully actualizing our Bodhisattva vows in the world. We commit ourselves to doing this by opening our hearts to suffering and our eyes to oppression and injustice. We commit ourselves to doing this with humility and with love, in the service to all beings and to the peace of the world.
