Golden Dragon Zen Meditation
Zen practice, community, and tea.
Step into a welcoming space for meditation in the heart of Toledo with Golden Dragon Zen Meditation. This inclusive group gathers every Thursday evening, offering a chance to engage in both seated and walking meditation, followed by a calming sutra recitation. The experience culminates in a friendly tea and conversation session, fostering community among participants. Affiliated with CloudWater Zendo in Cleveland, a Ch'an Buddhist (Chinese Zen) temple, Golden Dragon brings a lineage of practice to its Toledo home. You'll find them in a rather unique setting: the attic of the Toledo Campus Ministry's chapel, a small, stand-alone building conveniently located next to the ministry's parking lot.
