Welcome

Norwich Zen Buddhist Priory is a place of meditation and practice for the Soto Zen tradition of Buddhism. It is the residence of a senior monk in the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives, Reverend Leoma Hague. She offers teaching and guidance, either in person or online, to anyone who wishes to meditate and live a Buddhist life. The Priory is supported by a group of lay Buddhists, in Norwich and beyond, who follow the Soto Zen tradition.

You are very welcome to have an introduction to how we meditate and practise. There are various options for newcomers who would like to find out more.

Our form of Buddhism is centred on the practice of zazen or serene reflection meditation. Soto Zen emphasises meditation as the basis for being still within the events of life and experiencing things as they are.
