Welcome to the Austin Zen Center

At AZC, all people of every race, religion, nationality, class, gender, sexual orientation, age, and physical ability are welcome to practice with the community. Practicing inclusivity and welcoming diversity is a foundation of the Dharma, and a path to alleviating the suffering of everyone. May all beings realize their true nature.

As an expression of our commitment to offer a place of refuge and trust, firearms and other weapons are excluded from our grounds and buildings.

We invite you to protect yourself and others by wearing a mask.

Since there are vulnerable individuals among us, and the virus can still cause serious illness or death, do not come to the temple if you have Covid or flu symptoms, if you have been ill but not fully cleared the virus, or if you aren’t fully vaccinated. 

May all beings be well and safe!
