Brooklyn Zen Center (BZC), is a community of affiliated Sōtō Zen practice and retreat centers in the New York City metropolitan area, comprising of Boundless Mind Temple in Brooklyn, NY, and Ancestral Heart Temple and the Millerton Zendo, both in Millerton, NY.[1][2]
Brooklyn Zen Center was founded in 2005 by Laura O'Loughlin, Gregory Snyder, and Ian Case.[3] BZC's founding teacher was Soshin Teah Strozer, who studied under Shunryū Suzuki, founder of the first Zen Buddhist monastery in the United States.[4]
Community, Classes, and Engaged Practice Groups edit
Brooklyn Zen Center is engaged in community programs throughout its bases New York City and Millerton.
In 2012, Brooklyn Zen Center, in partnership with High School students throughout the borough, offered a meditation after-school program in the neighborhood of Bushwick, which participants chose as an alternative to detention or suspension.[5]
In 2015, Rev. angel Kyodo williams and Lama Rod Owens hosted a series of talks on "Radical Dharma," a response to white supremacy led by American BIPOC Buddhist practitioners that emphasizes "an integration of the ways we are present or not to the issues of race, love, and liberation that shape our collective awakening."[6] One of these talks was hosted at BZC and was the partial genesis of williams's and Owens's 2016 book Radical Dharma.
BZC's sangha also offers educational classes and practice groups, which engage members of particular social identities as a container for practicing Boddhisatva Precepts. As of December 2023, these programs vary in online and in-person modalities:
- Undoing Whiteness as the Path of Liberation
- BIPOC Workshop: Sitting with Ancestors
- Beginner's Mind
BZC's active Engaged Practice Groups consist of:
- Ancestral Moon: A BIPOC Zen Practice Group
- B-12: Buddhism and the 12 Steps of Recovery
- Parents Practice Group
- Queer Dharma Share[7]
