Treeleaf Zendo is a vibrant Soto Zen Sangha founded by Jundo Cohen, a dedicated Zen practitioner who has lived in Japan for much of his life. With a lineage that includes revered figures like Eihei Dogen and Gudo Wafu Nishijima, Treeleaf Zendo emphasizes the practice of Shikantaza, or "Just Sitting," as a means to navigate daily life with mindfulness and presence. The Sangha provides a welcoming environment for practitioners of all backgrounds and levels, featuring a range of offerings including online meditation sessions, forums for discussion, and guidance from experienced teachers.

Cohen and his Transmitted Priests—Shokai, Kyonin, Kokuu, and Sekishi—lead the community in practicing the essence of Zen, bridging the divide between ordained priests and lay practitioners. Through their teachings, Treeleaf Zendo fosters a deep connection to Zen's historical roots while encouraging personal exploration and growth. The organization also emphasizes openness and accessibility, inviting all who seek to deepen their understanding of Zen Buddhism
