Mission



Zen2.0’s mission is to create a mindful planet, where all of Humanity can live in harmony with the Earth, and where all living things are respected as sacred beings.

Zen2.0 aims to realize a society in which “True Self”, “Nature” and “Connection (community)” are in complete harmony.
This a concept borrows from the Three Jewel in Buddhism
Become aware of our true selves (Buddha)
Learn from the laws of Nature (Dharma), and
Deepening the connection with others/ community (Samgha)

Activities



Zen2.0 offers a place where participants can be inspired from the mind and body, through diverse speakers and practitioners who can shed light on the seemingly opposite truths such as “the search for the intersection of wisdom from both technology and eastern traditions” or body techniques that requires both practice of the mind and body inseparably”

Zen and Mindfulness

From KENCHOJI, KAMAKURA

Zen 2.0 is held in /broadcasted from Kenchoji Temple, the head temple of the Kenchoji School of Rinzai sect of Buddhism, located in Kita-Kamakura.
Kenchoji, which is a historical temple dating back 760 years+, has been the venue for the first, second, and third Zen2.0 conference.
Many participants who have come to Kenchoji have been astonished saying, “The power of the location is amazing.
Those who have actually visited this sacred place have felt the pure and refreshing atmosphere of Kenchoji— the clean breeze blowing through temple grounds, the rustling of the leaves as the wind caresses them, and the chirping of the birds.
As we have done in previous years, this year’s Zen2.0 Conference, will be held at and broadcasted from Kenchoji Temple, this year with a limited number of participants onsite. We aim to hold a hybrid event that takes advantage of both the real and online worlds.
Even if you participate online, we would like you to experience some of the same experience as if you actually visited Kenchoji.  Even if you participate online, the power of this wonderful place, Kenchoji, will reach the world.
And, with the help of the online venue of Kenchoji, we would like to engage in a deep dialogue with you to imagine how humanity can reclaim the Mindful Planet: a planet filled with compassion and love.
We hope you will enjoy coming to Zen 2.0.

Unfortunately, most of you will not be able to visit Kenchoji Temple this year, but we are planning offer you an experience as close to if you were visiting Kenchoji in person as possible. Even if it’s online, we believe the power of the wonderful place of Kenchoji can reach the world.
