Auckland Zen Centre

Nestled in the heart of Auckland, the Auckland Zen Centre stands as a tranquil sanctuary for those seeking inner peace, mindfulness, and spiritual growth. Established over two decades ago, our centre has become a vibrant hub for Zen meditation enthusiasts, both seasoned practitioners and curious newcomers alike. Welcome to a place where ancient traditions meet modern life. Our doors are always open, inviting you to join us in the time-honoured practice of Zen meditation. Regular sittings, guided by our dedicated teachers, provide a steady rhythm for your spiritual journey. The soft hum of silence, punctuated only by the gentle sound of breath, creates an environment where one can truly connect with oneself and the world around. We offer more than just a space to meditate; our calendar is filled with enriching talks, workshops, retreats (Sesshin), and ceremonies designed to deepen your understanding and practice of Zen meditation. These events are opportunities for exploration, learning, and connection – with yourself, others, and the wisdom that Zen offers. Beyond our walls, we believe in compassionate action as an integral part of our Zen journey. We encourage members to engage in various acts of kindness within the community, fostering a spirit of empathy and unity beyond the meditation cushion. Whether you are looking for a quiet space to contemplate, a supportive community to grow with, or opportunities to deepen your Zen practice, Auckland Zen Centre warmly welcomes you. Join us in this timeless quest for inner peace, mindfulness, and spiritual growth – together, we embark on this journey that transcends borders, unites hearts, and nurtures souls.
