Mission & Vision
The Buddhist Study Center Johanneshof-Quellenweg is a Zen Buddhist Practice Center, offering a (hopefully) realizational space, dedicated to the practice and enactment of wisdom and compassion. We practice still seated meditation every morning and evening.
Johanneshof-Quellenweg was founded by Zentatsu Baker Roshi, the Dharma Heir of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, in 1996. Baker Roshi is the Abbot and Head Teacher at Johanneshof-Quellenweg.
We offer more than 40 retreats each year: Zen seminars for beginners and experienced practitioners, Sesshins (7 day intensive meditation retreats), work practice weeks, seminars for young people and for families, and a 90-day Practice Period from September through December. We also offer seminars exploring the relationship between psychological aspects of Zen practice; seminars in the field of body work (specifically, how to develop our bodily minds in relationship to zazen practice); Zen calligraphy; and mindful communication.
