About our group

What is Zen?

Our practice

our sangha

“Practice is this life, and realisation is this life, and this life is revealed right here and now.” - Maezumi Roshi

Our Brighton & Hove group is led by Dheeresh Shinkai Turnbull, an authorised Sensei (teacher) with 40 years' experience and study of Zen.

We are part of the Stonewater Zen Sangha, headed by Rev Dr David Keizan Scott Roshi and affiliated to the White Plum Asanga, founded by Taizan Maezumi Roshi.

Maezumi Roshi was a pioneering Zen master who brought the practice to the West from Japan in the 1950s, uniquely blending the Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions.

Beginners are always welcome!
