Organ Mountain Zen was formed as a local affiliate of the Order of Clear Mind Zen and is lead by Harvey Daiho Hilbert Roshi. We practice zen Services at 10 AM Sunday, hold dokusan on Thursday and host a study group Tuesday evening. For more information email Roshi at [email protected].
In the Order of Clear Mind Zen, we follow the path of the Bodhisattva warrior. Clear Mind Zen is Engaged Zen.
Our Order began in 2005 after Daiho Roshi left the Zen Center of Las Cruces he had re-established in order to pursue a more socially engaged Zen practice. Daiho practiced street Zen, began attracting students in other parts of the United States, and finally recognized the need to become “official.” The Order was officially founded in June of 2010.
Our understanding suggests true Zen practice is not nationally or ethnically based. Zen is Zen. It is the complete Buddha Way. We hold that Clear Mind Zen is the Zen of everyday life, which is manifest in a deep commitment to the Three Pure Precepts. We practice street Zen, a socially engaged practice of bearing witness to war, poverty, and ecological issues.
We are affiliated with Zen Peacemakers International and with the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. Our affiliate centers include
When we live with Clear Mind we do what is front of us to do, nothing added - nothing special. Please consider joining us and establishing your own Clear Mind practice.
