Welcome to Ashland Zen Center, a Soto Zen Buddhist temple in the lineage of Suzuki Roshi.

Our temple was founded in 1993 by teachers Jintei Harold Little and Etsudo Patty Krahl.

Ashland Zen Center offers non-residential opportunities for traditional Buddhist training, and the chance to practice closely with a sangha six days a week.

Meditation retreats and a two-week Practice Period in March provide students additional opportunities to deepen practice.

If you are new to Soto Zen, or would like to become familiar with our temple practice before attending a regularly scheduled event, we welcome you to Beginner’s Night, offered the first Wednesday of every month at 7 PM.

AZC is located at 740 Tolman Creek Road in Ashland, Oregon.

Ashland Zen Center is a non-profit organization, maintained and supported entirely by donations and volunteers.
