The Boundless Way Zen school is an emerging western Zen practice community with lineage roots in the Japanese Soto tradition through Jiyu Kennet, Roshi, the Soto reform Harada-Yasutani koan curriculum through John Tarrant, Roshi, and the Korean Linji tradition through Zen Master George Bomun Bowman. Boundless Way Zen has a number of practice locations in New England and in Copenhagen, Denmark as well as Pittsburgh, PA.
The Pittsburgh practice group of Boundless Way Zen started in March 2019. We meet weekly on Wednesday evenings online via Zoom.
