Sangha Jewel Zen Center, a refuge for the practice of Zen and Buddhism in
the mid-Willamette Valley of western Oregon. We investigate our lives
using many practices – meditation, chanting, bowing, working, eating,
studying texts, and engaging in song. We offer an enduring sanctuary for
cultivating a clear, quiet mind and a grounded, open-hearted way of life.

Announcements & Events

Sangha Jewel Zen Center offers in-person services on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Zoom services take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, with Sunday’s in-person service also available on zoom. Masking is optional.

Our Mission:

Sangha Jewel Zen Center is a diverse group of Zen practitioners dedicated to embodying the Buddha’s ancient teaching in modern times. Our practice emphasizes the sangha (community of practitioners) as the soil that supports and nourishes the seeds of our awake mind and heart, so that we may live with wisdom, kindness and a wide awareness of the interdependent functioning of all living beings. We welcome and affirm anyone looking for this way of life and cultivation.
