Zen?

"Hon Shin" means "true heart." At Hon Shin Zen, we create a sanctuary for meditation—

both in-person and online. Using meditation, Mondo Zen koans, the Work of Byron Katie,

and supportive counselling, we guide individuals on their journey

to uncover their true essence as beings of love and light.

Together, we can find the unchanging place of pure awareness, where everything begins.

From this place, we can live a peaceful life.

Welcome to Hon Shin Zen Sanctuary!

"When the fundamental nature of things is not recognised

the mind’s essential peace is disturbed to no avail.

The Way is perfect, as vast space is perfect,

where nothing is lacking and nothing is in excess."

 

(from the Hsin Hsin Ming, or Book of Nothing, by Seng-ts’an, trans Richard B. Clarke)

in our Zendo at Brejo, Colmeeiros, São Martinho das Amoreiras, Portugal.

We do two sessions of sitting separated by 15 minutes of movement.

After the sitting there may be tea and talk for those that wish to stay.
