What is Zen Buddhism?
Zen is a way of life, a non-deistic appreciation for each moment we have on Earth. It is the school of Mahayana Buddhism emphasizing the value of meditation and continual practice.
In our tradition, we do not worship Buddha. Zen is practice- not theory.
Each of us is Buddha and can become Awakened.
Have you ever thought to yourself "There has to be something more than this?" That is where Buddhist wisdom begins, found within the Teacher-Student interaction.
Most importantly, we do not "believe" anything- we come to know what is true. We do not require you to believe anything, merely to explore for yourself to see if it's true or not.
Zen does not try to answer questions about God, what happens when we die, reincarnation or other phenomena- it is impossible to give definite answers to them.
