Zen Practice for Inmates
Meditation training as an alternative to conventional sentencing. During the past year a
"scholarship" fund has been created to assist serious inmate practitioners in attending a
monastic training period on parole or at release from prison. The Engaged Zen Foundation intends
to establish a monastic-based alternative sentencing facility where offenders may serve out
sentences in a highly disciplined Zendo atmosphere.
