The ZenWorks store opened at Great Vow Zen Monastery in 1999, where it continues to thrive today. The store was started by our co-abbot, Chozen Roshi, and was envisioned as a way to support people in their home practice as well as providing a source of income for the monastic community. This mission continues today as we strive to only offer items that directly support spiritual practice, specifically the practice of seated meditation and practice with Jizo Bodhisattva. These products are the result of our intention to embody our meditation in action. 100% of our profits go to support Great Vow Zen Monastery and Heart of Wisdom Zen Temple. We appreciate your business and thank you for your support!
