About Us

The Zen Center of Las Cruces is located at 706 S. Mesquite St. in Las Cruces, NM (on the corner of Mequite and Soledad). Our services are open to the public regardless of religious orientation. Services are held Wednesdays at 7:00 PM and Sunday morning at 10:00 AM. We value the actual practice of Zen over the study of Zen concepts and ideas.

Zazen (Zen Service) is lead by Rev. Michael "Gozen" La Torra-sensei. Please see the Lineage of the Zen Center of Las Cruces (Daibutsuji Zen Temple).
