Welcome to the Grand Rapids Zen Center and Buddhist Temple, A Korean Buddhist Taego Order Temple



The Grand Rapids Zen Center and Buddhist Temple  located at 156 E Fulton in downtown Grand Rapids, Michigan is a Korean Zen Buddhist Temple organized under the Constitution of the Korean Buddhist Taego Order, Korea's second largest order of monks and nuns. Our Buddhist Order was founded 1600 years ago by Zen Master Taego Bowoo. The Grand Rapids Zen Center and Buddhist Temple is guided by The Venerable Deokwun Russell Pitts.  As a Korean Zen Buddhist Temple, The Grand Rapids Zen Center and Buddhist Temple offers a rich tradition of Korean Zen Buddhism coupled with a commitment to community service and engagement.  At the Grand Rapids Zen Center and Buddhist Temple you will find a warm and welcoming environment. Even though we are a Korean Zen Buddhist Temple, we invite everyone, regardless of religious tradition, to join us as we learn and live the teachings of Shakyamuni Buddha for the benefit of all beings. We will also offer yoga classes at the Grand Rapids Zen Center and Buddhist Temple via the Formless Yoga Studio whose teacher is Stephanie Squibb (see the link, below)..
