San Mateo Zen Community

Jon Joseph Roshi, practice leader at the San Mateo Zen Community, hosts weekly and monthly Koan Zen events in San Mateo, California. We meet online on Zoom every Monday at 6:00 pm Pacific Time. Please join us for koan meditation, dharma talk, conversation, music for meditation, and more. All are welcome.

Koans are not merely old stories. They are actual gates through which we can walk into a world that knows no distinction between self and other, moon and stars, holy and profane. It is a world of complete freedom. In practice, we learn that the world of freedom is actually our world. Please join us on this path of discovery.
