Located near the Civic Center in San Francisco, Beginner's Mind Temple (Hosshin-ji) was established in 1969 by Shunryu Suzuki as a training center in the Soto Zen tradition. City Center/Beginner's Mind Temple is open for the daily schedule, ceremonies, programs, and events. Tune into our live streamed Dharma talks and other events through the Online Zendo and check the website's main calendar for upcoming in-person and online offerings.
Beginner's Mind Temple (City Center) is currently undergoing an extensive renovation during the year of 2024. We are creating a Welcome Center, upgrading bathrooms, adding an elevator to go from the basement to the third floor, and many other improvements that will help make Beginner's Mind Temple more welcoming and accessible for all for many years to come.
