We often view Zen as some kind of special, secret practice, separate from everyday life. This is a completely incorrect and mistaken view. Zen is nothing other than a return to the normal state — the original state of the body and spirit of a human being. Rather, society and the life we see — full of competition, stress, and the pursuit of success, wealth, and power — are not normal.

⚠️ There will be no Zazen practice in Tbilisi this Saturday.

We are concluding our practice period at Yoga Villa and closing this chapter with gratitude.

Over the next month and a half, we plan to prepare our permanent place of practice — the Tbilisi Zen Dojo. This is an important step for the Sangha and for the development of regular practice in Georgia.

During this transition period, we would be grateful for any suggestions of places where Zazen could be held temporarily in Tbilisi: a quiet space, easy to reach, with enough room for group sitting.

If you have any ideas or contacts, please message us.

📍 In Batumi, practices continue as usual — every Thursday at 19:00, 61 Bagrationi St.

During a retreat at the “Shining Peak” monastery, Master Sando Kaisen entrusted a kyosaku for the protection of the Tbilisi dojo and gave it the name:

恒光寺 — Dojo of Infinite Light
