This is warm, welcoming community in the Rinzai zen tradition. Shinkai Roshi is an amazing teacher and hands-down one of the kindest, most compassionate people I have ever met. He teaches grounding meditation techniques that are sorely needed in the frenetic, stressful pace of modern life. I live almost 1000 miles away from Eugene, but still came up for a 3-day intensive meditation retreat that was an incredible experience. Wish I could practice here regularly... If you're in the area, I highly recommend checking it out!
The teacher and community of Blue Cliff Zen center provides supportive and effective instruction and practice of mindfulness and meditation. For new or seasoned practitioners I would highly recommend attending an event and/or a weekly sit with this group! I have felt and continue to feel a sense of ease and happiness during and after practicing.
I can't say enough about this center and it's teacher, Shinkai Roshi. The offering is warm, relevant, and accessible. There's a variety of ways to practice including weekly meditation sessions, workshops, classes, retreats, and Zen yoga. I've enjoyed and benefited from every minute spent with this group. Highly recommend!
Life changing and by far the best practical way of continuing and developing traditional Zen meditation and mindfulness practice. They have all the experience and compassion to support all levels, beliefs and backgrounds. Two thumbs and two big toes way up!!!
Blue Cliff Zen center has been an immense Blessing in my life. I experience a Peaceful Presence and am greatly enriched by the dharma teachings and the Spirit of Shinkai and the people who gather there.
I've really enjoyed and benefitted from the 8-week training courses in meditation and mindfulness offered here. The practices emphasize being grounded and building vitality in the body. The yoga classes are great too!
Matt Shinkai Kane is the real deal. The Dharma flows here. The atmosphere is relaxed and accepting. Come as you are.
I love Blue Cliff Zen Center and Shinkai (the guiding teacher). The sangha is welcoming and there are many ways you can practice and be involved with Blue Cliff. Blue Cliff had got me started strongly on the path of meditation and I am forever grateful. I would absolutely suggest it (and have) to anyone in Eugene or stopping through Eugene. There is magic happening here.
