Hands palm-to-palm,

Nonin

Hi,

Plus this - this centre I took formal refuge in. It's part of the Jogye Order but has its own flavour. And lots of international branches too.

Zen Centres of the World - http://iriz.hanazono.ac.jp/zen_centers/ ... ist_e.html

The site hasn't been updated since 2000. Our temple has moved twice since that listing, and I know at least one of the others doesn't exist any more.

The Community of Interbeing (Thich Nhat Hanh)

http://www.interbeing.org.uk

The UK organisation which supports the practice of mindfulness taught by Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh

The Community of Interbeing UK is the network of people in the United Kingdom who practise Buddhism according to the teachings of Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh (Thây -pronounced 'tie' - as we call him, meaning teacher in Vietnamese). The UK Community of Interbeing is part of the wider international Sangha of many thousands of practitioners worldwide, all of whom follow Thây's mindfulness practice and teachings.

Right now I'm working on an index of Zen Centers worldwide, and could use some help if possible. The idea is to get the basics up first, and then over time check over my work and make sure everything is up to date, etc.

If any members are kind enough to look through my current listings and double-check the websites for contact info, addresses, phone numbers, etc., it would be greatly appreciated. You can then send your updates to sweepingzen @ yahoo.com (when sending the email, remove the spaces).
