  "I think Sweeping Zen is fast becoming the best general all around site for info on Zen in the West." - James Ishmael Ford Roshi, Boundless Way Zen
  "Sweeping Zen is astonishingly complete, non-judgemental, and good-hearted. If you want to check out Zen -- people and doings -- it is the premier site to go to. Bows to Adam Tebbe!" - Rafe Martin, Author & Storyteller
  "It's a delight to read blogs and articles by so many Zen colleagues on Sweeping Zen. A visit to the site almost always leads to something illuminating." - Nomon Tim Burnett, Red Cedar Zen Community
  "Sweeping Zen is a contribution to the Sangha that I am extremely grateful for. Meeting is essential to our practice, and Sweeping Zen, by providing a rich platform of encounters, is becoming more and more helpful as Zen matures in the West." - Angie Boissevain, Floating Zendo

About Sweeping Zen

Established in 2009 as a grassroots initiative, Sweeping Zen is a digital archive of information on Zen Buddhism. Featuring in-depth interviews, an extensive database of biographies, news, articles, podcasts, teacher blogs, events, directories and more, this site is dedicated to offering the public a range of views in the sphere of Zen Buddhist thought. We are also endeavoring to continue creating lineage charts for all Western Zen lines, doing our own small part in advancing historical documentation on this fabulous import of an ancient tradition. Come on in with a tea or coffee. You're always bound to find something new.
