Welcome to the OBC Journal website.
Here you can download current and past issues; access archives of published articles; give feedback, and find out more.
- The Journal was published four times a year up to winter 2024 from its office at Throssel Hole Buddhist Abbey in the north of England. Articles from monks and lay practitioners on aspects of Zen practice, as well as news from temples around the Order combine to make a PDF publication of around 80 pages.
- The eBook versions for Kindle and tablets are also available to download for free.
- We also produced a printed Annual comprising all the articles from the respective year for those who appreciate reading a printed book – see our Annual page.
- The Journal has always been a collaborative project – contributors offered help by sending in articles, supporting financially, and other ways like transcribing talks and proofreading.
