Zen Sukoyaka Life Center is a spiritual community dedicated to the study and practice of the dharma, and the Zen Philosophy. Our purpose is to help awaken a radical awareness about one's spiritual self, and the issues that we face in the world today. We are dedicated to helping individuals bring about changes in their lives, physically, mentally, and spiritually. We focus on Zen philosophy and practice of zen based on the understanding that the Enlightened Mind is universal; not limited by, and independent of, any secular or sectarian institutions professing religious or spiritual authority. Which opens the path for anyone to find Liberation through the Enlightened Mind and enter through the Gateless Gate. Zen involves letting go of of preconceptions, dualistic thinking, religious abstractions, and symbolic delusions. Here at Zen Sukoyaka the practice of Zen requires Physical, and mental disciplines Our primary practice includes zazen (seated silent meditation), mindfulness (fully responsive awareness), as well as a natural approach to food, and the understanding of the universal laws of karma (cause and effect). Through these disciplines, and the Zen philosophy, one will learn to live a happier, healthier, holistic and spiritual life. At the Zen Sukoyaka Life Center we are not bound to one culture, everyone is welcome.

Each morning after meditation we have a our daily reading or short dharma talk, here I would like to share some of them with you. Feel free to ask questions make comments or post your favorite teachings of Buddha.

It can be hard to be a Christian that loves someone of the same sex. You may have lost family or friends just being honest. Would you like to discuss it? Or maybe you would like to help support those who need love now that their family won't show love that Christ expects all of us to share that love with others. THIS IS NOT A DEBATE CLUB FOR THOSE WHO THINK HOMOSEXUALITY IS RIGHT OR WRONG!!!! But this is for people who ARE and AREN'T Gay/lesbian as a friend to others. A connection spot for support.

Need me to pray for you in my daily prayers. Have a sick family member or praying for work?Please mention them to me and for the whole group to pray for you. I would add them into my nightly prayer intensions before the Rosary. Blessings
