GREEN RIVER ZEN CENTER
About Us
We are a vibrant Zen Buddhist community, or sangha, integrating the Eastern-based Zen tradition with styles of Zen study and practice more accessible to contemporary American practitioners.
The sangha sits together on Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings. See our Regular Schedule for details.
Head teacher Roshi Eve Myonen Marko offers dharma talks and opportunities for private study. Each month we hold a Reflection on Precepts. We also offer monthly one-day retreats and longer retreats, called seshins, three times a year, as well as precepts classes and other trainings (see Special Events.)
Green River Zen Center is part of the Zen Peacemaker family, founded by Roshi Bernie Glassman, and the White Plum lineage, established by Roshi Taizan Maezumi. A stewards group, comprised of sangha members, governs Green River Zen Center (see Shared Stewardship). The council meets quarterly and all members of the sangha are encouraged to attend.
