Zen Center Hamburg

The clear mind is like the full moon in the sky.
Sometimes clouds come and cover it, but the moon behind it is always there.
Thinking comes and goes, comes and goes.
You must neither hold on to coming nor to going.

The Zen Group Hamburg was first formed in the mid-1990s on the initiative of a Tae Kwon Do master and his students, who discovered Zen practice as an underlying training of the mind. Since then, the group has practiced together regularly and invites the masters of the Kwan Um Zen School to weekend retreats.
