We are a temple of the White Plum Asanga, located in the suburb of Oak Park just outside downtown Chicago.

We practice meditation to help clarify our lives and be present to our experience as it is. We vow to liberate all beings and reduce suffering for ourselves and others. We uphold precepts as guidelines for conduct that orients our lives towards service and benefiting all beings.

Our Zen practice includes zazen, services, samu work practice, study, koans, classes, workshops and sesshins (retreats).We practice in both Soto and Rinzai traditions.

We also teach Sacred Hawaii Dance - Hula in Chicago and New York.

Our practice is open to all. We welcome practitioners and students of various traditions to join us. We welcome all veterans and their families and especially those returning from recent wars.

We have an affiliate group on the Island of Hawaii. This group is located in Holualoa and offers weekly zazen.
