I had a wonderful time sitting with this community. They were very welcoming and the meditation instruction as well as the dharma talk afterwards was clear and helpful to me in my path. Highly recommend checking them out.

I was so relieved to go to PNW Meditation and realize there is a Buddhist center in Portland that sees what I see- a desperate need for this city to have the Dharma taught through a social justice framework, by people who occupy different marginalized identities. As a marginalized person, I have gotten tired of going to center after center trying to find a teacher who will teach the Dharma in a way that applies to me and understands my lived experience, but none, especially in the Insight tradition, have done so. Instead of using buddhism to avoid addressing oppression and its impact on all of us, PNW Meditation teaches Buddhism from the radical perspective the Buddha taught- directly addressing the reality of oppression and suffering to find liberation. Before PNW Meditation I resorted to finding other Sanghas across the country that were more representative of my identities and experience-- I am glad to have a home in Portland that is trying to build that kind of community here.
