Harbor Light Zen Sangha, located in Annapolis, Maryland, is a welcoming and inclusive community dedicated to the practice of Soto Zen Buddhism. Rooted in the rich traditions of Zen, the Sangha offers a serene environment for individuals of all backgrounds to explore mindfulness, meditation, and spiritual growth.

The Sangha emphasizes the practice of zazen (seated meditation) as a central pillar of its teachings, fostering a deep sense of stillness and awareness. Through regular meditation sessions, Dharma talks, and retreats, practitioners are guided in cultivating a life of presence, compassion, and interconnectedness.

The community values simplicity, authenticity, and the direct experience of the present moment, offering guidance on integrating Zen principles into daily life.

In addition to meditation, the Sangha engages in thoughtful discussions on Buddhist teachings, ethical living, and the challenges of modern life.

Whether you are new to Zen or an experienced practitioner, Harbor Light Zen Sangha invites you to join them in exploring the path of awakening. Together, they strive to embody the spirit of Zen and illuminate the way for others, like a harbor light guiding ships safely to shore.
