Welcome to O-An Zendo, a woodland center in central Pennsylvania devoted to the practice and teaching of Zen Buddhism. The Japanese phrase "O-An" means "hut of harmony," which reflects the natural beauty, simplicity, and gentle atmosphere of the zendo, as well as the commitment of our spiritual community to building personal, inter-personal and ecological peace. O-An does not have an "official" ideology but blends a variety of practice styles and traditions (none involving the kyosaku). We offer daily and Sunday meditation sessions, special Buddhist celebrations, Zen studies, yoga classes, workshops, kirtan (Hindu) chanting, and a children's program that includes meditation, art, yoga, and nature study.
