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.
