City Center, also known as Beginner's Mind Temple (Hosshin-ji), is one of three practice communities that comprise the San Francisco Zen Center, which also includes Green Gulch Farm and Tassajara Zen Mountain Center. It was established in 1969 by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi as a training center in the Soto Zen tradition open to the general public. Offerings include daily meditation and service, semi-weekly Dharma talks (both online and on site), classes, residential student programs, and the opportunity to discuss one's spiritual practice with an experienced Zen practice leader.
