The purpose of the organization is to encourage and support ourselves and others on the Way of deepening awareness and realizing Life.

- When Christianity and Buddhism Meet by John W. Healey. "I believe that my efforts at Buddhist practice, and my reading in Buddhist literature, have subtly and significantly influenced my Christian faith--and, I would say, for the better. In moving from church to zendo and back again, I know that I have been able to respond more and more "heartily" to the gospel. It is not that I have set up a parallel religious practice (no statues of Jesus and Buddha side by side on my altar--no statues at all, come to think of it), but in "Buddhist" practice I have somehow come home in a new way to my Christian faith. What I have found in the zendo is a deeper silence than I expect to find in the church, at least in my lifetime."

- Christianity and Zen "In recent years Christians have shown increasing interest in Buddhism, an interest which doesn't arise so much from academic or neighborly curiosity, nor from any dissatisfaction with Christianity, but instead stems from a desire to return to older forms of Christian worship...forms that included the various methods of meditation that are still followed in Buddhism."
- Meetingbrook Hermitage A quiet place for practice and study of Christian contemplative prayer and Zen meditation.
- Zazen and Christianity Talk given by Yamada Roshi. "Zen is not a religion, in the same sense that Christianity is a religion. Therefore, there is no reason why Christianity and zazen cannot co-exist. Almost all Buddhist sects can be called religions. Zazen, however, is quite different in this respect. Quite simply, it is the core of all Buddhist sects."
