The Indianapolis Zen Center offers several ways for people to begin Zen practice. Every Wednesday evening at 6:30PM and every Sunday morning at 8:30AM, a dharma teacher provides a brief orientation for people who wish to attend practice at the center. There is no charge and no appointment is necessary. Please arrive a little early so that you can get settled. In addition, every other month, the Zen Center presents a Foundations of Zen class that provides in-depth instruction in practice forms, history and philosophy. Please register in advance for this class. Click here to find the registration form. Those with some practice experience are always welcome to join our regular schedule at the Indianapolis Zen Center without formal orientation and free of charge.

For more information about our Foundations of Zen class click on Upcoming Events in the menu on the left.
