About us:
Founded in 1989 by the late teacher Zen Master Seung Sahn, internationally renowned Grand Master of the Kwan Um School of Zen, the Queensland Zen Centre - Dae Kwang Sa or "Great Light Temple" - is a Brisbane-based training temple for students of Zen Buddhism.
In the Zen tradition, we practise the way of awakening through the practice of meditation.
The temple offers a program consisting of daily meditation practice, monthly retreats, and introductory courses. Please see our schedule for details of upcoming events.
The formal aspects of Zen training consist of sitting and bowing meditation, chanting sutras, and kong-an practice. QZC's resident teacher, Zen Master Senshin, oversees all aspects of Zen training including giving regular dharma talks and kong-an interviews.
QZC is centrally located in the leafy Brisbane suburb of Robertson. We hold meditation practice at QZC every Sunday morning, and there is a regular Wednesday night practice at the Croquet Club in West End. Both new and experienced practitioners are welcome. To receive our e-newsletter, or for more information, please contact us at the zen centre - we look forward to hearing from you.
