Zen Living is everyday Zen. As our Dharma Grandfather wrote:

"...one should know the Living Zen in which one puts their whole self. In this Living or "Mokusho Zen", one does not confine their Zen life to merely reading, discussion, writing or poetry, expecting enlightenment every day of their life to descend upon them from mysterious realms. Instead. one finds it in one's daily life, no matter where they may be."
The Kyosaku, pp 134-135


We are a forum sponsored by the Order of Clear Mind Zen. We post discussions of our Zen practice regardless of religious tradition. The Rev. Dr. Harvey So Daiho Hilbert Roshi, now retired, formed this list over eight years ago. The Chief Moderator of this list is Rev. KoMyo Novotny.

Clear Mind Zen Temple is lead by his dharma heirs, Rev. Bussho, Rev. KoKyo, Rev. Kajo and disciple, Rev. KoMyo.All are in the tradition of Rev. Dr. Soyu Matsuoka Roshi's lineage.

We would like this list to be an ecumenical approach to Zen practice offering opportunities for all faith traditions to enter a still, quiet place to discover our true relationship with the Infinite.
