Zendo without Walls

Understanding nothing,
I lost my way.
But now I see I, too, am one
With the moon on the water
And the floating clouds.

-- Mugai Nyodai (1223-92)

Our Mission

Zendo without Walls is a global, online Zen Buddhist community. Our aspirations include being trauma-informed, rooted in shared wisdom, and identity affirming. After all, we cannot forget the self until we feel safe and seen for who we are.
