The Maria Kannon Zen Center was formed in 1991 as a place for people of various backgrounds and faiths to practice Zen. The members are bound together by a common commitment to cultivate wisdom and compassion. The center's primary task is to offer people an opportunity to practice Zen.
Members practice Zen in the lay Zen tradition of the <a href="http://homepage3.nifty.com/sanbo-zen/">Sanbo Kyodan Religious Foundation</a> based in Kamakura Japan.
