The Cloud Water Zen Centre is a Zen Buddhist temple in the heart of Glasgow city centre. It is located in Gordon Chamber, an impressive eight-storey red sandstone building built in 1903, designed by the architect Frank Burnet.
The Zen Centre offers people living in Glasgow and the West of Scotland the opportunity to explore and practise Zen Buddhism. It was established to provide a quiet and peaceful space in the centre of Glasgow, where people can enjoy some silence and calm amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. During Doors Open 2022, we offer the possibility of discovering more about the design and organisation of a Zen Buddhist temple and learning about what it has to offer. Our resident Zen teacher will also offer a live talk to provide more information and answer questions. You can also participate in a guided tour of the centre.
