Atlanta Soto Zen Center

The Atlanta Soto Zen Center provides a dedicated space for meditation practice with regular zazen sessions, Dharma study groups, and community gatherings focused on traditional Soto Zen Buddhism teachings.

Established in 1977, the Atlanta Soto Zen Center has served the local community for nearly five decades as one of the largest Zen meditation centers in North America.

The center maintains authentic Soto Zen traditions through weekly Sutra services, Dharma dialogues, and ceremonial practices including chanting, repentances, and Heart Sutra recitations led by experienced teachers.

Weekly activities include Sunday morning services from 9 to 10:30 AM, Monday evening book clubs, Wednesday beginner meditation sessions, and both in-person and online participation options via Zoom.

The center offers specialized workshops called 'Secrets of Zen = Singularity of Zazen' that focus specifically on the fundamental practice of seated meditation and its role in Zen awakening.
