About the Place

and its People

For anyone living or visiting Los Angeles they can find the beautiful Hazy Moon Zen Center. They offer classes, retreats, and more, to explore and deepen one's practice in Zen Buddhism. The beautiful and cozy looking temple is located near W 18th St and S Gramercy Pl, and can be accessed by car (with parking located on the street and on the property), public transportation, and by foot.

The Hazy Moon is a lineage center, meaning that the Dharma expounded and maintained has been handed down through a continuous line of ancestors from India to China, Japan, and America through Maezumi Roshi and his successor, their teacher Nyogen Roshi. The Center temple is located near the corner of 18th street and S Gramercy Place. There is parking located on the premises but it is limited and important to utilize every inch of the space. There is street parking but can be limited as well so extra time is needed to ensure a spot if needed.

Zen

the Path

Zen Buddhism is a form of Mahayana Buddhism that originated in China and has spread to other countries in Asia and beyond. Zen emphasizes direct experience and personal realization through meditation and other spiritual practices, rather than relying on scriptures or other external sources of authority. The goal of Zen Buddhism is enlightenment, or understanding one's true nature and attaining liberation from suffering. This is typically achieved through the practice of zazen, or seated meditation, which is said to help practitioners develop concentration, clarity of mind, and insight into the nature of reality.

Zen practice also often includes other spiritual practices such as koans, chanting, and physical disciplines such as martial arts or gardening. Zen teachings often emphasize the importance of living in the present moment, practicing compassion and kindness towards others, and finding one's own path to enlightenment rather than following a prescribed set of beliefs or practices.
