Notes and Events:

North Oxfordshire Zen Group was created to allow people in North Oxfordshire and surrounding areas to practice traditional Zen Buddhism. The group is suitable for experienced practitioners and beginners alike, including those who wish to bring greater mindfulness into their lives without necessarily having an interest in Buddhism per se.

Our parent temple is Dai Bai Zan Cho Bo Zen Ji (Chobo-ji), in the Rinzai Gigen – Hakuin Ekaku Zenji Dharma Line and was founded by Zen Master Genki Takabayashi, in Seattle, USA, in 1983. Genjo Marinello Oshō succeeded Genki Roshi in 1999 as the second abbot of Chobo-ji.

Meetings are on Thursdays at 7pm,  practicing primarily ’silent awareness’ or shikantaza zazen meditation, walking meditation and dedication liturgy. There are also Zen retreats and other Zen-related events in the region on occasion.

Instruction for beginners is available.

Notes and Events:

Tumbleweed Zen is a series of very informal, friendly meditation events. We meet at various times throughout the week in members' homes and in public parks. Our current locations include Oxford, Kennington and Wallingford. We also run online sessions as circumstances dictate.

Beginners are very welcome; meditation instruction is provided. We never charge for anything.

We avoid religious trappings like chanting, bowing and rituals. We practise Buddhist meditation but we are open to everyone, of any belief or none.

If you like the idea of a half-hour of peaceful meditation plus friendly conversation over tea, Tumbleweed Zen just may be for you.

Please get in touch or visit our website for more information and for details on events running near you.
