Ann Arbor Zen Buddhist Temple
The Ann Arbor Zen Buddhist Temple is like a little oasis of calm amidst the hustle and bustle of city life. Picture this: an urban temple surrounded by lush gardens, complete with serene meditation spots and towering trees—it's basically a Zen haven right in the middle of town. This is truly one of the best Buddhist temples in Michigan, which you can't miss if you're in Ann Arbor.
At the temple, they're all about that daily dose of Zen vibes. They've got meditation sessions happening every day, and if you're into a deeper dive, they offer weekly courses in meditation and yoga. Plus, once a month, they spice things up with retreats that let you hit pause on the chaos and soak in the tranquility.
Sundays are the temple's jam. Public services kick off every Sunday at 10 a.m., with an extra dose of Zen goodness at 4 p.m. on the 1st and 3rd Sundays. Families get their special moment on the second Sunday of the month with a family service, and there's even cool stuff for middle schoolers and teens.
Oh, and the temple isn't just about meditation. They host group meetings tackling everything from mindful aging and environmental issues to recovery dharma on Sundays and a Bodhisattva study group on Thursdays. So, whether you're a seasoned Zen pro or just dipping your toes into the tranquility pond, the Ann Arbor Zen Buddhist Temple is your spot for some chill Zen vibes right in Michigan.
