Bright Way Zen

Specialties

Bright Way Zen provides access to Zen Buddhist meditation, practice and community to people on Portland’s westside, including Beaverton, Hillsboro, Aloha, Forest Grove and surrounding areas. We are committed to providing access to the Dharma, particularly the teachings and practices of Soto Zen Buddhism and the practice of Zen Meditation (Zazen); supporting the creation of Sangha, a community of practitioners; and providing the opportunity for people to go as deeply into Soto Zen practice as they want to go, in order that they may awaken to their Buddha-​nature.

History

Established in 2008.

Begun as a meditation group called Westside Zen in 2008, we incorporated as Bright Way Zen in 2011. We meet weekly for meditation, teachings and community.
