This is the web site of the San Francisco Zen Center. It includes information about the three Centers, events, membership, and more. An especially nice feature of this site is the "Zen Library" page that contains much wonderful reading material.

From the site:
Zen Center started in 1959 when several people outside the San Francisco Japanese community asked Shunryu Suzuki-roshi if they could join him in meditation. The Soto Zen style of practice he taught flows from the insight that all beings are Buddha, that the practice of sitting in meditation is itself the realization of Buddha nature or enlightenment. Practice and enlightenment are one. As the freshness of zazen pervades one's entire life, mindful awareness is brought to every moment and heart and mind open with compassion for all beings.
