Cloud Water Zendo at 14436 Puritas Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio.

Interesting place. However, I believe this place pressures those who are new to Zen meditation and Buddhism. One should not be pressured into taking the Buddhist refuge and I believe you should fully educate someone in all that is taking place inside this Zendo before actually having people do the rituals and ceremonies. The first time I came here, I did not have any knowledge of what was happening. I only remember being taught about Zen meditation and did not know that the actual class was involved with deep rituals/ceremonies and other things that may seem awkward to the outside person. I have to agree with MS FlamingFlamer. Culture vultures indeed.
