Zen is the very awareness of the dynamism of life living itself in us —
And aware of itself, in us, as being the one life that lives in all
— Thomas Merton

I still recall how, with my bag on a pole, I forgot my yesterdays.
Wandered the hills, played in the water, went to the land of the clouds.
The lift of an eyebrow, the blink of an eye -- all of it samadhi (deep absorption).
In this great world there is nowhere that is not a Wisdom Hall.
— Ziyong (18th c. Chinese Buddhist Nun)

Pamsula Zen Center welcomes All to Practice — long-time practitioners & newbies.
It is PZC’s policy not to discriminate on the basis of race, creed, color, gender, sexual orientation,
gender identity, national origin, ability, age, or religion in our programs or activities.
We joyfully welcome Seekers and Students of all religious paths into our gatherings.

Also, all offerings are dana (donation) based
— with suggested free-will offering —
no one turned away for lack of resources.
We are boundlessly grateful to those who support our offerings

Pamsula (definition):
1) Dusty, covered with dust; 2) Polluted, defiled, sullied, stained
Traditionally, the discarded, soiled cloth that monks & nuns found from which they made their robes
