Mountain Rain Zen Community

MRZC's Soto Zen practice emphasizes being fully awake to our own moment-to-moment experience, from our meditation cushion to every aspect of our everyday life. Join us!

Mountain Rain Zen Community's Wall street Zendo and Koryuji temple are situated on the unceded, traditional and  ancestral territory of the hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ and Sḵwx̱wú7mesh speaking peoples, the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations.

We are deeply grateful for their stewardship of this land since time immemorial.
