Chicago Zen Center
The Chicago Zen Center (CZC) is a Harada-Yasutani Zen practice center located in Evanston, Illinois[1] near Northwestern University currently led by Abbot Shodhin Geiman. Established in 1974, the Chicago Zen Center formed around an interested group of students who had attended a workshop given by Philip Kapleau in the early 1970s.[2] For many years the center was an affiliate of the Rochester Zen Center in Rochester New York, which had sent teachers there throughout the year to hold sesshins. Today, Chicago Zen Center acts independently of the Rochester Zen Center .
