Welcome.

Clear Mind Zen is about getting off the cushion and into action.  It is the path of a Bodhisattva warrior, it is Engaged Zen. 

Clear Mind Zen was created by the Rev. Dr. So Daiho-roshi who was initially trained in the Soto tradition following the lineage of the Very Rev. Dr.Soyu Matsuoka-roshi and HoGaku McGuire-roshi.

It is our attempt to establish our own tradition in the United States.

Clear Mind Zen is the Zen of the everyday. We practice streetZen, a socially engaged practice of bearing witness to war, poverty, and ecological issues. We practice Zazen at home.  Our sangha is affiliated with Bernie Glassman-roshi's Zen Peacemaker Sangha and with the Buddhist Peace Fellowship. We also maintain We also maintain a small retreat center in the Sacramento mountains near Cloudcroft, NM where sesshin are conducted.

Clear Mind is a mind which sees directly what is in front of it with no assumptions.

When we see with clear mind we know what is needed and we do it.

A bow to you,

Rev. Dr. So Daiho-roshi
