Zen Fellowship of Bakersfield is dedicated to the practice of zazen, or Zen meditation, following the Soto tradition of Taisen Deshimaru and Kodo Sawaki. Emphasizing the importance of posture, practitioners are guided to maintain a poised and alert physical alignment to support a state of wakefulness and energy during meditation.

With a focus on gentle yet attentive wall-gazing, Zen Fellowship encourages a sense of mindfulness and presence without fixating on any specific point. The community values the balance between stillness and motion, embodying the essence of the middle way in meditation practices.
