Perth Zen Centre Jizoan

Welcome to Perth Zen Centre Jizoan, a place of tranquility and spiritual growth located in Hamilton Hill, Burridge Way. As an establishment and place of worship, we offer a range of activities and programs to support your journey into Zen Buddhism.

At Perth Zen Centre Jizoan, we believe that there are many paths to Zen, and we welcome individuals of all backgrounds and experiences. Our daily Zen meditation sessions, known as Za-zen, provide a space for you to delve into the depths of your own mind and find inner peace.

In addition to meditation, we also offer Zen talks and programs on Zen Buddhist teachings, Zen Buddhist art, cultural arts, and social engagement. These activities aim to inspire and engage you in the rich traditions of Zen Buddhism, both within and outside of the Zen Centre.

For newcomers, we recommend attending our Aishiteru - Meeting Heart workshops. These workshops provide an introduction to Zen and offer guidance on how to incorporate Zen practices into your daily life. Once you have attended the workshop, you are welcome to join us for weekly meditation sessions, as frequently as you desire. We currently offer five public sittings per week to accommodate different schedules.

At Perth Zen Centre Jizoan, we foster a vibrant community of artists and offer coaching in traditional arts. We believe that art and Zen are deeply intertwined, and through artistic expression, we can deepen our understanding of ourselves and the world around us.

Tea has a special place in Zen Buddhism, symbolizing the simplicity and beauty of the human spirit. Tea and Zen have been connected for centuries, and at Perth Zen Centre Jizoan, we embrace the concept of 'Cha Zen Ichimi' - Tea Zen as One.

Zen is not just an individual practice, but a way of living in harmony with others. Through our interactions and shared experiences, we refine ourselves and grow together. Our community also extends to a Martial Arts group that trains in traditional Japanese Martial arts of Iaijutsu and Aikijujutsu. In this group, there is no enemy, no competition, no winning, and no losing.

Please note that the Zen Centre is also a private residency, and we kindly request that you make an appointment before visiting. This allows us to reserve time for appointments and adhere to our public schedule. If you would like more information or wish to register for one of our sittings, workshops, or other general inquiries, please let us know your interests, such as daily sitting, introduction workshops, life coaching, retreats, martial arts (Kobudo), or visual arts coaching.
