Kanzeon Zen Center

Kanzeon Zen Center is a Buddhist meditation facility in Salt Lake City's Avenues neighborhood, located on G Street. The space offers rooms for formal sitting practice, instruction sessions, and personal spiritual development throughout the year.

The center was founded in 1984 as part of White Plum Asanga, a network of Zen centers devoted to the teachings of Taizan Maezumi. This establishment was part of a broader movement to bring Zen Buddhism to North America.

The center welcomes people interested in Zen Buddhism and creates a space where regular meditation practice shapes the daily experience of visitors. Here, people gather together to sit and cultivate inner clarity.

The facility offers meditation sessions in various formats, held in both morning and evening slots, as well as multi-day courses. Visitors should be flexible with timing, as offerings vary seasonally.

The center operates two separate locations: one in the city and a retreat space in Torrey, set among the red rock formations of Capitol Reef. This split allows visitors to choose between urban and nature-based practice.
