Other interesting Zen Links
The following links display other aspects of Zen beyond the individual dojos with their contact addresses and Zazen times :
- • Do not zzz?

- • Website of Zen Monk Gabor Terebess
- www.terebess.hu — a fascinating Hungarian website full of information about Zen: poems, pictures, sewing patterns and construction plans, translations of the most common Sutras in several languages. A Zen labyrinth where it is fun to get lost (in Hungarian and, sometimes, English).
- • Zen Karmics
- www.engaged-zen.org — a collection of Manga-style comics about Zen in American prisons. Published by “The Engaged Zen Foundation”, which is involved in the movement to abolish capital punishment in the USA.
- • Exhibition: Kesa — the Cloak of the Buddha
- www.musethno.unizh.ch — as part of its “Japan Year 2003” the University of Zurich Ethnographic Museum ran an exhibition about the Kesa (for a short description of the Kesa see our Dojo page). Unfortunately available only in German, it does have detailed photographs of some unusual kesas.
