Welcome to Del Ray Zen
We are a community of practitioners in and around Alexandria Virginia, following the Soto-Zen Lineage. We welcome meditators from any background and every level of experience, from beginner to bodhisattva. We emphasize a commitment to the practice of sitting meditation (zazen) every day as a way to deepen connection with our true nature and to actualize it clearly in our work and daily activities. We hope you'll join us.
