Welcome Home! Zen Meditation is for everyone, from those who seek relief from stress to those who wish to follow the spiritual path of compassion, loving-kindness, and service. Pine Wind Zen (Center) was established in 2000 and is a non-residential Zen-Buddhist community, a 501c-3 non-profit organization, located in Shamong NJ, in the Pinelands of Southern New Jersey.  As a Zen center, we offer a context for meditation training and practice, education in Zen, Buddhism, and Community, offering a diversity of courses and training focused on learning how to live in our world responsibly, with kindness, benevolence, wisdom, and all victorious mastery. Our vision focuses on the integration of practice, community, and priesthood; provide an environment or context for understanding; spirituality, learning, ecumenical dialog, and engagement in the transformation of global consciousness and personal responsibility for the sustainability of the natural world. Pine Wind Zen (Center) offers a Formal Training Program for Home Practitioners in Zen-meditation and the principals of mindfulness and compassionate living.  Some members participation has led to an interest in Jukai (lay-ordination), and Ordination (priesthood). Paradigm Pine Wind Zen Community realizes its mission by being a refuge to the many who come through its temple doors and offering mature spiritual programs – traditional, contemporary, and experimental – that meet the needs of people, society, and the environment.   "Community is the spirit, the guiding light, whereby people come together to fulfill a purpose, to help others fulfill their purpose, and to take care of one another."     Sign up for our Email Newsletter For Email Marketing you can trust The Zen Society 2004 © All rights reserved	What's Happening Monthly Calendar 1000 Words (Photo Gallery) Our Teacher Sangha News Zen Life Counseling Meditation Zen Chat Zen-Buddhist Teachings Zen-Buddhist F.A.Q Zen Practice Being at Pine Wind Essential Conduct Zendo Etiquette Registration Ceremonies Weddings Funerals Memorials Blessings Buddhist Declaration on Climate Change Pine Wind Zen Center Jizo-an Monastery 863 McKendimen Rd.
