Zen Group Cologne

It doesn’t matter what someone says or how well something can be explained, it’s ultimately up to you.

The wonderful thing about Buddha’s teaching is that Buddha told us not to believe anything just because a wise man or an expert said so. Don’t believe anything just because a holy book or tradition says it is the truth.

You have to find the truth for yourself.

The Cologne Zen group of the Kwan Um Zen School was founded many years ago. In 1991, the Berlin Sangha organized a lecture and a Yong Maeng Jong Jin (Zen retreat) with Zen master Wu Bong without having a single contact person in Cologne.

Interested people came together and a regular meditation practice began in Cologne and a stable meditation group developed.
