Profile
The Cape Cod Zen Center is affiliated with the Kwan Um School of Zen. Zen Master Seung Sahn founded the Kwan Um School in 1972. Our teaching is rooted in the ancient Korean Seon (Zen) tradition, with many adaptations to the requirements of modern life.
When you practice within a community, you can quickly go beyond obstacles to wisdom and compassion. The Cape Cod Zen Center and the Kwan Um School of Zen|Americas exists solely to help you in that effort by maintaining over 35 Zen centers in the Americas and many more around the world.
The Cape Cod Zen Center focuses on practice. And, at the heart of practice, is don’t know mind, the mind that opens naturally and unconditionally to each moment. Our innate wisdom and compassion flow through this opening to support the well-being of all creatures
We are an engaged community of practitioners (sangha) under the leadership of our Guiding Teacher Terry Cronin JDPSN, Abbot James Calvin, and Vice Abbot Ann Miller.
