San Francisco Zen Center Snapshot
The purpose of San Francisco Zen Center is to express, make accessible, and embody the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha.
These ideals are based on the example of Shakyamuni Buddha and guided by the teachings and lineage of the Soto Zen school as conveyed by the founder, Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, and other Buddhist teachers.
San Francisco Zen Center's central value is to express the non-duality of practice and awakening through the practice of Zen and the sixteen bodhisattva precepts, acknowledging and valuing equally the expression of the practice in formal settings and in daily life, thus affirming both lay and monastic practice as expressions of the bodhisattva way.
