At the London Zen Centre

We bring the transformative Zen Buddhist teachings to life, so everyone can experience the intimacy and clarity that Zen practice reveals, and more importantly, use the expanded virtuosity that follows.

You can learn Zen meditation, practice with others, explore Zen koans, come to retreats, attend workshops, and work directly with authentic Zen teachers to start or deepen a spiritual practice.

Our focus is on personal growth and care for all beings of the world. Our approach is experiential and practical; we are clinicians, not academics.

Zen Buddhism is a broad and inclusive path that shows us that our life, just as it is, is the gateway to freedom. It's a path walked together, not alone.

Everyone is welcome.

About the London Zen Centre

Our Zen lineage has evolved from the Sanbo Kyodan Japanese Zen School, a school that straddles both Soto and Rinzai Zen and was influential in establishing koan Zen in the west. In America it took root with Robert Aitken Roshi, developed further with John Tarrant Roshi at the Pacific Zen School. Guy Gaudry Roshi is continuing this evolution in Canada at the London Zen Centre.

Roshi Guy Gaudry is the Director of the London Zen Centre

Sensei Mike Lobb is the lead teacher.
Dr. Alan MacDonald and Cale Morrison are Zen teachers.

The London Zen Centre is an independent Non-Profit Corporation.
