Welcome to Ordinary Mind Zen-Austin!

The Ordinary Mind Zen group celebrated its tenth anniversary this spring. We are a Zen meditation group modeled on the teachings of Joko Beck, who emphasizes direct experience of everyday life, with few Japanese forms. We meet Sunday mornings from 8:00 to 10:00. There are two zazen (sitting meditation) periods separated by a short period of walking meditation. Zazen is followed by a reading, informal discussion and a short service, followed by tea. We also offer zazen on Monday evening at 8:00, one period of zazen followed by tea. This week the zendo is moving into its new home at 913 East 38th Street in Austin. For additional information, directions, or questions, please contact Peg Syverson at 512.689.5301 or by email: syverson_at_uts.cc.utexas.edu.
