The logo of our Zen Meditation Center beautifully encapsulates the essence of the Heart Sutra. At its periphery is a circle of Zen, symbolizing emptiness—the infinite, boundless nature of existence.

Within this circle rests a stack of five balancing stones, representing representing pancha skandas — form, sensations, perceptions, mental formations and consciousness makes a being, the tangible and structured, impermanent aspects of life. This harmonious composition reflects the profound teaching:

“Form is emptiness, emptiness is form.”

The logo embodies the interconnectedness and unity of all things, inviting you to explore the balance between the physical and the spiritual, the samsara and the Nibbana.

It serves as a visual reminder of the Zen path—finding peace in the present moment, embracing simplicity, and uncovering the wisdom of true awareness.
