The Kennebec River Zen Center was established in 2001. We follow a Japanese style of Zen as practiced at Zen Mountain Monastery. The teaching of the late John Daido Loori and the Mountain and Rivers Order (MRO) have been a primary inspiration for us. A variety of other Buddhist teachings and traditions also help to shape our practice Our goal is to provide a resource for anyone who is interested in contemplative spirituality regardless of experience or training. Through weekly meditation practice, academic study and a variety of special events we seek to participate in an ongoing dialogue with the Interfaith Community and support Buddhist practice in Maine.
