The purpose of Santa Cruz Zen Center is to embody and communicate the teachings of the Buddha. Our understanding of the non-duality of wisdom and compassion, practice and realization, has been conveyed through the Soto School. The focus of our center is on integrating Zen practice and everyday life. Our teaching is in the Soto Zen tradition brought to us from Japan by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and Kobun Chino Roshi. We offer daily meditation, weekly lectures, classes, workshops, workdays, one to seven-day meditation retreats, and Zen and the Arts programs.

Vipassana Santa Cruz is a community of people who support each other's meditation practice and the application of the Dhamma (Dharma) in our daily lives. Our goal is to reduce the suffering caused by greed, hatred, and delusion; to do this, we cultivate wisdom and compassion. Our vision of community includes formal practice, attention to ethics, and integration of practice through service, study, and discussion. The core of our community is Insight Meditation (Vipassana), one of the central meditation teachings of the Buddha, practiced and passed on within the Theravadin tradition for over 2,500 years.
