Welcome to
Ames Buddhist Mahasangha
American Zen
Ames Buddhist Mahasangha is an ecumenical American Buddhist sangha (with primarily Korean Soen and Vietnamese Thiền lineage roots). As a modern American sangha, we vow to act with compassion, wisdom and equity, to share resources, and to build relationships that empower liberation from dukkha. We teach beginning and advanced meditation practices, hold retreats, and work together to support each other. We are based in Ames, Iowa, but include members across the country. We hold many of our meetings both in-person and over the Internet. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.
