Our Shanga has its roots in Silver Spring Zendo/ One Heart Sangha which was founded by Sensei Rose Mary (Myoan) Dougherty (1939-2019) in the 2000s in Silver Spring, MD. We are a self-organized, lay led, and on-line Sangha maintaining our White Plum Asanga tradition. In April 2025, we aligned ourselves with the Zen Peacemakers’ mission to realize our oneness and relieve suffering through contemplative social action based on their Three Tenets:
· Non-knowing
· Bearing Witness and
· Loving Actions
