"All experience is preceded by mind; led by mind; made by mind. Speak or act with a peaceful mind, and happiness follows, like a never-departing shadow."

Welcome to the Zen Philosophy Club at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa!
Located in lush Mānoa Valley on the main campus of the University of Hawai'i, we are a student-run organization dedicated to the study of Zen philosophy and the teachings of the Buddha. Through group discussions and lectures from the Zen monastic community, we discover the value of traditional Buddhist teachings and learn to appreciate and apply them to our daily lives.
A brief description of our organization can be found in the About Us page, and a schedule of upcoming meetings and discussion topics is posted in Schedule. We are open to the public, and anyone may join our discussions. Membership is free, and members need not be Buddhist. Simply come to learn and share!
