Muddy Water Zen

5 days ago

Although Ullambana is traditionally celebrated the 15th day of the seventh month according to the lunar calendar, which is today, Muddy Water Zen will be celebrating it Sunday August 21. There is still time to add a name(s) to the side altar (photo) for loved ones who have passed. Stop in the Sangha Room any time, fill out a request form on table, add your donation to the begging bowl and Rev. Bup Seong will place it on the altar. Or, you can email the temple at haedoh@wowway.com with your request and use PayPal on our website, muddywaterzen.org or mail in a check. 🙏 ... See MoreSee Less

Our Mission Statement

Muddy Water Zen was formed to disseminate and propagate the Dharma, the teachings of Shakymuni Buddha, as recorded in the ancient scriptures, as interpreted and transmitted by the Ancestors, and as experienced personally. Zen Buddhism, with its emphasis on meditation, is a way of cultivating compassion and wisdom through radical acceptance of what is. Meditation becomes an awareness and mindfulness of all that is, moment-to-moment and an appreciation of life in all its manifestations.
