Zen in Mississippi

Welcome to Zen in Mississippi, the website for Zen practice groups in Cumberland (near Starkville) and Jackson, Mississippi. These groups are led by Tony Bland, a Zen Monk and teacher who has been practicing since 1984 and teaching since 1995. We offer zazen (seated meditation), periodic sesshins (retreats), and an occasional "Introduction to Zen Buddhism" workshop. For inquiries, questions, or more information, please feel free to contact us.
