Welcome to Day Star Zendo

Day Star Zendo is an inter-religious Zen sangha.  Our mission is to provide a place of refuge in which people of all traditions (or none) are welcome to practice and come to a deeper realization of life. We are in the White Plum lineage created by Hakuyu Taizan Maezumi and Tetsugen Bernard Glassman. Our teacher, Kevin Jiun Hunt, O.C.S.O., Roshi, is also a Catholic priest and a Trappist monk of over fifty years.  He was certified as a Zen teacher after more than thirty years of practice by Robert Jinsen Kennedy, S.J., Roshi, a Jesuit priest and Zen teacher.  

If you desire a deeper realization of who you are and your relationship to life, nature, the absolute, God – the practice of a deeper way of meditation can help you realize such insights.  This practice is not limited to people of a particular faith tradition.  Zen can help anyone who wishes to truly realize who and what they are through insight, looking deeply at oneself and what is.
