Zen and Integrated Buddhist Studies (IBS) 2027

Jikishoan Zen Buddhist Community is a not-for-profit charitable organisation founded in 1999. Jikishoan’s vision is to offer ‘Transformative Buddhist Learning, Experience and Cultivation for Everyone’. As part of our commitment to this vision, Jikishoan offers Zen and Integrated Buddhist Studies (IBS), based on Soto Zen Buddhism. Since its inception in 2009, the IBS has offered a three-fold Main Course program. The program includes meditation instruction, tutorials, consultation and practice interviews with the Teachers and Course Coordinators who assist students with their planning and course work, practice and independent projects.

We are now accepting applications for the 2027 IBS program. For information on the programs and how to apply, see the Zen Education & Practice section of the website.
