The Zen Community recognizes the deep suffering
that veterans and their families have gone through, particularly
veterans who are coming home from recent conflicts in Iraq and
Afghanistan. The presence of veterans and their families is a
gift to all of us and we value your experience.
If you are a vet returning home or a family member
and are interested in learning more about the practice of meditation
and other skills such as stress management, or conflict resolution,
we will be happy to share more information with you and orient
you to our community.
We welcome you, whatever your religious background
or beliefs. We honor your experience in the military and your
service to our country. You don't need to be a Buddhist or "convert"
to Buddhist to take part in our community; in fact, many of our
members continue to identify and participate in their own faith
traditions while benefiting from some of the practices our community
has to offer.
