Welcome to the London Soto Zen Groups website – the site for AZI affiliated groups in London UK

London zen groups meet regularly to practise zazen – the core practice in the Soto Zen tradition.

The Soto Zen Buddhist tradition emphasises the practice of Zazen: silent, seated meditation.  Still and upright,  offering our complete attention to each moment,  allowing thoughts to pass, we sit as Buddha sat,  in the calm posture of awakening.

Newcomers, beginners, experienced and inexperienced, from all walks of life are welcome.  Why not join us for an introduction?
