Louisville Zen Center
In addition to in-person and online meditation instruction, sittings, retreats, and work practice, the Zen Center offers chanting services, celebrates Buddhist holidays, and other special events. Below are more ways to engage with this Sangha and our broader community.
Residential Training: Zen Immersion
Sensei returns to the Rochester Zen Center each quarter to teach. Louisville Zen Center sangha members are warmly invited to join her for any portion of this immersion in semi-monastic Zen training that includes daily meditation, group and individual instruction, Dharma talks, chanting, and work practice. View RZC's daily training schedule here.
Whether you're at RZC for a shorter or longer period of time, residential Zen training helps bring the clarity and focus of zendo practice into everyday life. Contact Sensei if you have any questions.
Volunteering
Louisville Zen Center operates on the Buddhist principle of dana—the practice of generosity. Volunteering is a valuable way to support the Center, deepen your meditation practice, and connect more fully with the Sangha.
Opportunities include helping with zendo setup and cleanup, managing chant materials, playing instruments during services, assisting with events, or offering behind-the-scenes support. Whatever your skills or availability, there's a way to contribute.
Public Talks
Louisville Zen Center offers public talks on Zen Buddhism, and meditation and mindfulness. We can also bring our Introduction to Zen Meditation workshop to your school, workplace, religious group, or community organization.
