Zen Deism

These eight affirmations are starting points for a Zen Deist way of seeing, not rules to obey or doctrines to defend. We hold them as our best current understanding, while remaining open to questioning and change. Anyone may take them up freely, adapt them, or set them aside. No person or institution should dictate another’s beliefs; each of us is responsible for shaping and cultivating our own spiritual life.
