Welcome. The Athens Zen Group is an unaffiliated, independent community of lay practitioners. Our primary form of practice is zazen, a form of seated meditation that emphasizes shikantaza, or “just sitting”.
We invite you to browse our site to learn more about AZG, view our meditation and event schedule, and check out our list of books and other resources to discover more about Zen Buddhist practice. If you have questions, just use the contact page to get in touch with us.
“If you want to see things just as they are, then you yourself must practice just as you are.”
— Dogen
