About Szc
Szc: Australia's Original Zen Buddhist Sangha
Szc is a welcoming lay community that has been devoted to practising compassion, inclusion and equanimity in our daily lives since its inception. As Australia's original Zen Buddhist sangha, we have been providing a safe and supportive environment for people to explore the teachings of Buddhism and develop their own spiritual practice.
Our community is open to everyone, regardless of their background or beliefs. We believe that everyone has the potential to awaken to their true nature and live a more fulfilling life. Our teachings are based on the ancient wisdom of Zen Buddhism, which emphasises mindfulness, meditation and self-awareness.
At Szc, we offer a range of programs and activities designed to support your spiritual journey. Whether you are new to Buddhism or an experienced practitioner, you will find something here that resonates with you. Our programs include regular meditation sessions, retreats, workshops and talks by visiting teachers.
One of the unique aspects of Szc is our emphasis on community building. We believe that spiritual growth is best achieved in the context of supportive relationships with others who share our values. That's why we encourage members to participate in social events such as potlucks, picnics and other gatherings.
Another important aspect of our community is our commitment to social justice issues. We believe that compassion extends beyond ourselves and should be expressed through action in the world around us. That's why we support various causes such as environmental sustainability, human rights advocacy and animal welfare.
If you're looking for a welcoming community where you can deepen your spiritual practice while making meaningful connections with others who share your values, then Szc may be just what you're looking for. Join us today!
