The Korinji Center for the Contemplative Arts

Korinji Center for the Contemplative Arts Benzaiten

​THE KORINJI CENTER FOR THE CONTEMPLATIVE ARTS was established in 2023 to promulgate arts complementing Buddhist practice in this way. By doing so, we hope that a vital, embodied spiritual path — less conceptual, practical in its applications, aesthetically uplifting, and permeating daily life rather than divorced from it — may become more widely accessible.

Following an extraordinary donation to the Korinji Foundation, the Wagner Fund for Spiritual Arts was created to fund this work. We have also been pleased to receive a grant for arts programming development from the Community Foundation of South Central Wisconsin. 

Arts practiced at Korinji and in our larger community include calligraphy, Sado (tea ceremony), ceramics, and bladesmithing. But appropriate arts are not limited to these, and individual members are encouraged to pursue their own artistic endeavor.
