Welcome home
We warmly welcome you to Boundless Way Zen Temple of Worcester, Massachusetts, a place of Zen Buddhist training and practice. We invite you to join us as we come together in stillness and silence to awaken to the possibility of being fully human.
Come practice with us.
New and experienced practitioners are welcome.
Your First Visit
You don’t need any prior experience — just show up early to any regular practice period. We welcome anyone who would like to get to know more about Zen practice.
What is Zen?
There are many ways to begin Zen practice, and Boundless Way offers a number of options for you to explore at your own pace and in your own time.
