We are a non-denominational group of practitioners and students of many Buddhist traditions including Tibetan Buddhism, Zen, and insight meditation. The word sangha is Sanskrit for "community." We meet regularly to sit zazen or meditate and to participate in lively discussions. We would love to have you join us.
We meet at the following locations and times:
Gloria Dei Lutheran Church
219 N 6th Ave E., Duluth
Saturdays, 6:00am and 7:00am
Contact: Rich Duus 218-525-5482 or Joan Ursa-Borchert 218-724-2287
First United Methodist Church (The Coppertop Church)
230 E. Skyline Parkway, Duluth
Thursdays, 7:15pm
Contact: Roger Lips 218-724-6345
Unitarian Universalist Church
835 W. College St., Duluth
Tuesdays, 7:00pm
The focus of these meetings is the practice of zazen or meditation, although the style and length of meditation periods, as well as the discussions afterwards, vary with each location. Discussion topics are generally Buddhist in nature, but please do not feel as though you need to be a Buddhist or have knowledge of any Buddhist tradition to join us. Because meditation is a natural human activity, not unique to any one religion or philosophy, we welcome everyone to come sit with us.
