No-Rank Zendo is a Portland Oregon based Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple headed by Rinzan Pechovnik, an Osho in the Rinzai Zen tradition.  ​Meditation service is twice a week, Wednesday at 7:00 PM and Sunday  at 10:00 AM. Service begins with traditional chanting (chant cards provided) followed by two half hour zazen (meditation) periods. There are various other offerings which can be found under the "offerings" heading above.

 

The name of our Temple,  "No-Rank Zen Temple,," is based on a saying by Rinzai Gigen Zenji, the ancestor for whom our lineage is named. He says:

 

"There is one true person of no rank, always coming out and going in through the gates of your face. Beginners, if you have not witnessed that, look! Look!"

 

This is the essence of Zen practice, to sit, to look and to see that true person. It is in honor of this that our Zen group is named.
