Peaceful Transformation
Zaltho Foundation and Magnolia Zen Center
The Zaltho Foundation and the Magnolia Zen Center are dedicated to addressing the causes and consequences of war, violence, and suffering in and among individuals, families, and societies. Using the tools of meditation and drawing on the teachings of Zen Buddhism, we educate people in the peaceful transformation of conflict and suffering.
Making a difference
From the Founder
“When we stop blaming others and begin looking deeply within ourselves, we can discover how suffering arises, how it is linked to violence, and how to stop the seemingly endless cycles of aggression.”
- Claude AnShin Thomas
