WELCOME
We are a Buddhist temple in the Serene Reflection Meditation tradition (known as Soto Zen in Japan). The heart of our practice is silent meditation, mindfulness in daily life, and living by the Buddhist Precepts.
The Priory is part of the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives (OBC), an international community of monastic and lay practitioners founded by the late Reverend Master Jiyu-Kennett, one of the first Western women to be certified as a Zen Master.
Founded in 1973, we offer a regular schedule of meditation, services, classes, and the opportunity to talk privately with a teacher.
If you are new there is a monthly introduction to meditation and our practice. No previous experience is needed to begin. If you would like to learn more, please feel free to get in touch by phone or email.
There are no fees for participating in any of our activities. If transportation is a difficulty, please feel free to get in touch—we may be able to help with a ride.
