Welcome to

ZendoME Sangha

Damariscotta, Maine

Welcome to ZendoME Sangha, a Zen Buddhist community nestled in Damariscotta, Maine.

ZendoME offers Zen(dhyana) training through zazen meditation, the morning service, dharma talks, the Mondo Zen process, daisan(one-on-one consults) and book study. This growing community will contribute to creating a new world, a world of love and caring, defended and ordered.

ZendoME also points to the sacredness of our own lives, it’s interconnectedness and interdependence on all of life, and the realization of our own buddha-nature. This practice offers us the opportunity to cultivate our own compassionate wisdom in the midst of what is arising in our lives.

ZendoME stems from the word, Zendo: the sacred space in which we gather to practice, grow and connect with one another. ME, stands for Maine.

Sunday Sangha

Join us for our weekly sangha practice beginning at 10 a.m. at the orchard.

Retreats

Stay tuned for any upcoming community retreats. Our next one-day silent retreat will be in the fall of 2024.

I went everywhere with longing
in my eyes, until here
in my own house
I felt truth
filling my sight.
