| WHAT CAN KODOAN DO FOR YOU? |
| If you're looking for ways to improve yourself and your life, we can help! We show you ways to turn Zen meditation into a practical tool that helps you focus in on what you really want out of life. You will learn that Budo is not only to "stop conflict" but has been used for thousands of years as a spiritual path and that many enlightened Masters (including Buddha and Bodhidharma) were warriors. Think Yoga is only for the young, fit, & flexible? Think again. Flexibility is healthy but Yoga is really a way to "yoke" the power of the universe up to you. With Kodoan, you'll learn how to tap in to this power and direct it at will. At Kodoan, we make Zen practical, Budo spiritual, & Yoga accessible! |
| In case you haven't noticed, there's been some big changes at kodoan.com. In the spirit of constantly improving ourselves, we've revamped the website in response to your suggestions. We're here for you so let us know "how's it workin' for you". |
| Kodoan is a religious organization of men, women, & children who practice particular forms of Zen, Budo, & Yoga in order to attain enlightenment. We do this to provide compassion and inspiration to others, as well as, to constantly improve our own bodies, minds & spirits. Kodoan is also a religious order whose members are either Dojin ("wayfarer" or someone who walks a specific path); fully ordained priests with all of the rights and responsibilities associated with the priesthood or Shugyojin ("person in training"); members who are either "in-training" and assigned to a Dojin to learn or simply do not choose to be ordained. Kodoan is a Japanese word meaning "temple of the ancient path". Members of the Kodoan use the Japanese language for most terms for continuity because two thirds of their practice, Zen & Budo, were imported from Japan (although not "originating" in Japan). Other languages (including the ancient Sanskrit) are occasionally used for some terms. |
