Support the Kwan Um Zen School

Help us maintain a space for Zen practice
The Kwan Um Zen School has been active in the Czech Republic since 1995. Our practice is rooted in the Korean Zen Buddhist tradition and the teachings of Zen Master Seung Sahn. We create opportunities for people to meditate together, learn about Zen, and develop their daily practice.

Our activities are open to everyone, regardless of religious background or previous experience with meditation. We organize regular meditation sessions, retreats led by experienced Zen teachers, talks, workshops, and other community activities. Our meditation groups and centres are active in cities across the Czech Republic, making it possible for people to join a local community and practice together.

An important part of our school is the Zen Centre in Vrážné, a small village in the Pardubice Region of the Czech Republic. Surrounded by nature, the centre welcomes people from the Czech Republic and abroad who come to practice together, share experiences, and find time to pause and reflect on their lives.

Our activities rely on voluntary contributions of time and energy, as well as financial donations from people who believe in what we do. Your support helps us organize regular meditation sessions, invite teachers, maintain spaces for shared practice, and develop the activities of the school and the Zen Centre.

Every contribution makes a difference. A one-time donation helps us meet our current needs, while recurring donations allow us to plan future activities and maintain the facilities that support our practice over the long term.

You don't need to make a large contribution. Even a small recurring donation helps us continue our work.

Thank you for helping us keep Zen practice alive and accessible.
