WZEN.org is the online Zen radio station of Dharma Communications, the educational outreach arm of the Mountains and Rivers Order (MRO) of Zen Buddhism. It is an original webcast produced at Zen Mountain Monastery—the mainhouse of the MRO. WZEN.org includes discourses by Abbot John Daido Loori, Roshi, and talks by the teachers of the MRO, as well as news, music, and interviews on a wide range of topics relating to a life of spiritual practice. Alongside programs that explore the dharma in the form of talks and readings, WZEN.org webcasts conversations with religious teachers, environmentalists, historians, writers, scientists and artists. WZEN.org also plays a diverse range of music and intersperses its programming with periods of guided meditation; all designed to bring Zen Buddhist teachings into the lives of the listener.
Here is a list of links that we felt would be useful:
Zen Mountain Monastery (ZMM) is one of the West’s most respected Zen Buddhist monasteries and training centers. Since its inception in 1980, ZMM has offered spiritual practitioners innovative ways to engage the Buddhist teachings through a diverse range of retreats that take place within the context of authentic, full-time Zen monastic training. WZEN.org is produced at Dharma Communications by residents and students of the monastery.
Published continuously since 1980, the Mountain Record features over 120 pages of articles examining the heart of Zen training and the challenges encountered in meditation practice and in actualization of wisdom in the world. The discourses, talks, dharma combats, interviews and discussions that you have been listening to on WZEN.org are also published in Mountain Record. We are offering our listeners a special 15% discount on domestic subscriptions.
