 All
are welcome to our daily meditions and services. We are very friendly
and accepting.
We
offer free meditation instruction and have other fee and free classes.
We will not try to convert you because in Zen you must ask for information
or assistance. The student must seek the teacher.
Many people believe that Google and Yahoo have already started penalizing web sites that does link exchange in a large scale but we do not know the extend of it. Reciprocal link Exchange is not dead, if you provide links for the benefit of your visitors. Yes link exchange is still worthwhile to do but your directive should be to get one way links, since these will really boost your search engine results. moscow apartments moscow apartments hotel Volga

We will
not ask for money, but there is a donation box in case you want to say
thank you and/or help us pay the rent.
 We
do not worship the Buddha, the statue is just a reminder that we can be
like Him because He was a human being who became enlightened, which ended
His suffering and gave Him profound understanding, vision, compassion
and love.
Please come and meditate with us to put a little (inner) peace in your
life.
Zen honors
all religions and their contributions to mankind. Zen is not a better
way, Zen is simply another way to discover that enlightenment ends all
suffering and is the doorway to peace, joy, abundance,and health.

In
the Dhammapada the Buddha says:
We
are what we think.
All
that we are arises with our thoughts.
With our thoughts we make the world.
Speak
or act with an impure mind
And sorrow will follow you As the wheel follows the ox that draws the
cart.
Speak
or act with a pure mind. And happiness will follow you As your shadow,
unshakable.
Your
worst enemy cannot harm you As much as your own thoughts, nguarded.
But
once mastered, No one can help you as much...*
*From Dhammapada:
The sayings of the Buddha, translated by Thomas Byrom (New York, Alfred
A. Knopf, 1976)
