The
Anchorage Zen Community and its practice space, Uto-an, are committed
to providing authentic Soto Zen Buddhist practice and teachings to all
who are interested. We welcome people of any faith or background who
are interested in cultivating compassion, awareness, and wisdom in
their daily lives.
Our schedule includes daily zazen and chanting,
regular instruction for newcomers, study groups, prison volunteer work,
and teisho (dharma talks); we also hold one-day sittings, sesshin,
precepts ceremonies, and more. We are a non-residential community,
voluntarily maintained and supported by our members. If you have
questions about the practice at Uto-an, feel free to contact us at
zen@alaskazen.org.
