No Gate Zen
“All beings are encompassed within one all-encompassing great energy: So I understood from the coolness of this morning’s passing breeze.”
― Mumon
Originally founded by Roshi Jitsudo Ancheta, dharma heir and lineage holder of Roshi Taizan Maezumi, who founded Zen Center Los Angeles.
Jitsudo Ancheta Roshi
We are a traditional and not-so-traditional Zen Buddhist sangha. Our lineage is Soto and Rinzai Zen and we engage in Dream-Koan practice as well as other beautiful and inspirational, diverse Buddhist practices. Our practices are relevant, vibrant and deeply meaningful in today’s world.
The “Tea House” Zendo
In a hidden courtyard in Nob Hill in Albuquerque, Roshi Jitsudo built a replica of a traditional Japanese tea house. Here is where our sangha meets for zazen, to do service, and for celebrations.
We are a diverse group of people, from various backgrounds and interests, each of whom bring a cherished aspect to our sangha. Most of us are Buddhist, and some folks participate as enrichment to their own chosen personal spiritual paths and traditions. We welcome everyone.
