Pine Wind Zen Community


"In order to meet the challenges facing all of us, we will need a spirituality grounded in the human heart, rather than beliefs or ideals. One that cultivates the best in each of us, challenges us to function at the level of full self-expression, and affirms the fundamental and immeasurable value of
every living being."

- Seijaku Roshi


Welcome to The Zen Society

Training in Living a Zen-Inspired Life including, Mindfulness Meditation,  Sustainable Relationships, and Creating Community in the 21st Century.

Pine Wind Zen Meditation Center is the home of Seijaku Roshi an American Zen Master, Author, and Founder of The Zen Society located in the Pinelands Reserve in Shamong, NJ. 

"Our Mission is to support a dedicated practice community which welcomes persons of all faiths, religions, and cultures, by providing training and programs to raise awareness and inspire real changes in the lives of its members and guests, who implement real and sustainable changes in their lives, and effectuate renewal in the world."

Through daily meditation, prayer, and contemplation, and living a Zen-Inspired Life, we aspire to be transformed in mind and heart by embodying the Buddhadharma (the Path of Loving-Kindness, Compassion, and Service) in ways appropriate for our times.

Pine Wind fosters the integration of Living a Zen-Inspired Life and training in meditation, mindfulness, and social responsibility. 

Zen is a tradition strong enough to transcend time and place.  We view it from our own time and place and adapt it to our present lives, striving to make accessible to the public, opportunities to train and practice Serene Mindfulness Meditation; informed dialogue, education, and Community.  

 

Zen Mind - Yoga Body One-Day Retreat

Saturday June 1, 2013 - 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM

"Blossom Into Bliss"

“Every soul innately yearns for stillness, for a space to be, a garden where we can till, sow, reap and rest, and by doing so come to a deeper sense of self and our place in the universe.”

Cultivating a Zen Mind - Yoga Body through meditation and yoga we engage deeply and intimately with the immediate experience of being alive, and being connected to the original radiance and natural spaciousness of our body and mind, as well as to others, and to the whole of nature.

Our gentle schedule supports you to cultivate a stable, relaxed and pain-free meditation posture, and allows you to deeply rest, rejuvenate, and invigorate your body and mind.
