The Kannon zen Library offers a dual service to its users:
Dojo Zen Library
In this space of silence and wisdom — the Zen Kannon Library — each book is a doorway to a deeper understanding of the path. Reading with attention is also a form of meditation, an act of presence. We invite you to explore, to let yourself be touched by the words of the masters, and to allow reading to become a living practice that illuminates your daily life.
This zen library service is exclusive to active members of the Zen Kannon Dojo, meaning those with an up-to-date membership. It includes an app that allows direct access from home to all titles in the center’s catalog, as well as other reading-related activities. Once a book is selected, it can be picked up at the dojo.
