Komyodo (“Place of Bright Light”) is a place in Leuven where you have the opportunity to engage in zazen, ceremonies, traditional breakfast, and other activities in the tradition of Soto Zen, a Japanese branch of Buddhism.
The heart of the practice is zazen. Sitting in zazen is experiencing the essence of Buddha Shakyamuni. From silence and stillness, we naturally and unconsciously give freedom to all things. There are currently six zazen sessions per week.
The referent, or Zen teacher affiliated with the center, is Taiun Faure, abbot of the Zen monastery Kanshoji.
