Welcome to the Centro Zen Buddhista Argentino
Our main purpose is to make the Buddha's teachings available to the people who could feel some afinity with those teachings.
In order to achieve that goal, we're trying to do what Buddhism always did when it moved to another culture: to adapt and not to get attached to the forms which aren't familiar.
We keep the essence of the teachings without being attached to the "eastern" forms (whether Chinese, Japanese or Korean), just because those forms were also modified in the moment they were created.
For us, Zen Buddhism is a Path to the liberation of the causes of suffering, which takes patience and determination. It has nothing to do with a body posture or with an external ritual. Is a Path to trascend our own limitations and conditionings.
