Authentic Buddhist Teaching Applied to Modern Day Living

Shogaku Zen Institute graduates are prepared to meet the challenges of ministering to an increasingly pluralistic Western society. In addition to formal academic study, the curriculum trains students to integrate experiential and practice-based learning. This embodied approach to study reflects a core aspect of the 2,500 year old Buddhist tradition, and differentiates it from theological and theoretical frameworks of traditional Abrahamic religious seminaries.
