Zen Peacemakers International – Zen Center of Denver Affiliate
In March, 2022, the Zen Center of Denver (ZCD) became a member as an affiliated group to Zen Peacemakers International.
The mission of the Zen Peacemakers is to help members and volunteers to support, inspire, train and mobilize people to conduct humanitarian, peace-building, social and civic action.
The Zen Center of Denver ZPI Affiliate and its volunteer activities are conducted in the spirit of the Zen Peacemakers’ Three Tenets – Not Knowing, Bearing Witness and Taking Action). We also incorporate the Way of Council and other forms of practice as a means of grounding ourselves in the activities of engaged Buddhism in the Denver Metro area and beyond.
Our social outreach activities include:
- Prison Dharma – Conducting services through the prison chaplaincy program at FCI Englewood Federal Correctional institute.
- Metro Caring Food Bank – Metro Caring works with our community to meet people’s immediate need for nutritious food while building a movement to address the root causes of hunger.
- Samaritan House Shelter – serve meals to those in need of shelter and support through Catholic Charities Archdiocese of Denver.
