Reclaiming the World as Sacred

Our Mission:

Infinite Circle is a community of The Zen Garland Order for Zen practice, education, healing, and service. It is a hybrid online and in-person sangha led by its founder and Zen teacher, Rev. John Mitsudo Mancuso, Sensei, based in Fishkill, NY. 

We provide a welcoming Zen community for people across the country who do not easily access a sangha or in-person Zen training space.
 
Members of the Infinite Circle community have opportunities to meet online for Zen practice weekly. We also offer in-person and online retreats, private discussions with Sensei Mitsudo, classes, workshops, and gatherings from Infinite Circle and other teachers in the international Zen Garland Order. 
 
We maintain a circle of healing and growth for all people seeking to live more fully, freely, and selflessly. We seek to cultivate and embody diversity, equity, and inclusion and welcome everyone regardless of race, age, sexual preference, gender identity, disability, or immigration status.
 
Our sangha is particularly enriched by people who have been or continue to be nurtured by faith traditions other than Buddhism.

I live my life in widening circles that reach out across the world. I have been circling for thousands of years and I still don’t know: am I a falcon, a storm or a great song?
