Great Wind is a lay Zen community committed to making Zen practice accessible to the communities west of Indianapolis. We practice Soto Zen style zazen (seated meditation) but welcome other compatible meditative traditions. Our Zendo is located in the heart of Hendricks County in Danville, Indiana.

View our calendar on our Events page. We hope you will join us for Practice, you do not have to be Buddhist to participate. If you are new to zazen please contact us for an appointment to receive an introduction and orientation with the zendo.

Great Wind Zendo takes its name from the calligraphy by 18th century Zen poet Ryokan: "Sky Above, Great Wind". Our signature calligraphy is an interpretation of “Great Wind” by Kazuaki Tanahashi, an artistic calligrapher, Zen teacher, author and translator of Buddhist texts.
