Wet Mountain Sangha is a Zen community offering silent meditation practice dedicated to the path of awakening. While Zen meditation is very much an individual undertaking, we believe it can be more powerful practiced in community that offers support. We are open to practitioners of all Buddhist and other Wisdom traditions. We honor inclusivity and respect the inherent basic goodness of all people. We support beginning as well as experienced meditation practitioners who want to explore their path of meditation, study and contemplation of Buddhist teachings (Dharma). We dedicate our efforts toward compassionate awakening and social justice. We look forward to your visit and joining us in meditation practice.

SPECIAL EVENT JUNE 26TH: Wet Mountain Sangha is so pleased to announce that on June 26, as part of our regular Wednesday evening service, we will have an honored guest, Sarah Bender, Roshi present our monthly talk on Buddhist teachings. After practicing with Robert Aitken, Roshi in Hawaii, Sarah became a student of Joan Sutherland, Roshi, in 1997. She was given dharma transmission as a Roshi, a senior teacher of Zen Buddhism by Joan in 2017. She is the resident teacher at Springs Mountain Sangha in Colorado Springs and is the senior teacher in the Open Source tradition, the school in which the Wet Mountain Sangha practices.

Temple bells will begin to ring at 5:50 pm. The service begins promptly at 6:00 with a couple of sutras, 25 minutes of silent meditation, walking meditation, and then the dharma talk. There will be time for questions following her talk.

Everyone is welcome.
