Our Mission
The mission of our Zen meditation center in San Diego is to support participants in practicing the path of awakening and living more fully with kindness, compassion and appreciation.
Everyone is welcome. We appreciate participants from diverse traditions and backgrounds. Please read our First-Time Visitors’ FAQs to find out more about our practice.
Where We Meet
We meet at the Christ Lutheran Church in Pacific Beach—4761 Cass St., San Diego, CA 92109.
There is a generous parking lot just near the chapel. The best access to the lot is from Chalcedony St, one street north of Missouri.
The zendo is in the Wright Chapel on the corner of Cass and Missouri.
We appreciate help from any ZCSD members who can arrive for work practice at 8:30 am on Saturdays.
No In-Person Sitting on Halloween
On Halloween, we won’t meet in person at the chapel, because the Church is hosting an event that day. Sitting that day will be online only. There will be two periods of zazen, then service, and we’ll end early.
