The Benevolent Zen Sangha (BEN) is a Zen Buddhist practice group. We hold in person zazen (meditation) sessions on Monday nights at 7:00 pm, second and forth Mondays of the month, at the First Unitarian Church. These sessions are also available via Zoom (instructions here). Newcomers or those new to zazen please send email to benzen.pvd at gmail.com to arrange for an orientation. All are welcome!
