Urban Zen is a peer-led group in which we meditate, share, and explore the integration of Zen practice with modern daily life.  No previous experience with meditation or Zen necessary!  We will meet Monday nights from 7:30 to 9:00 beginning June 11 at Austin Zen Center.  There is also an optional meditation instruction and posture clinic at 7:00. Check out our website and Facebook page. http://urban.austinzencenter.org/ http://www.facebook.com/urbanzenpractice

I've studied Buddhism since 2002. I don't follow a set path, but have found wisdom in everything I've been exposed to. I'd like to find more wisdom from actual interaction and discussion with others. My first idea is to explore the book "Hardcore Zen" by Brad Warner. This punk rock musician turned Buddhist priest presents Buddhism using modern icons, recent history, and very down to earth symbolism to explain some of the most complex concepts of Buddhism in a very easy to,understand manner.
