All Beings Zen Sangha is a Washington Metropolitan based Zen Meditation community founded in 2004. It practices in the Japanese line of Soto Zen Buddhists as prescribed by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi who established the San Francisco Zen Center in the early 1960s. Under the guidance of its Spiritual director and resident priest, Sensei Inryū Ponce-Barger, the urban center located near Woodley Park offers regular Zen meditation sittings (zazen), Dharma talks, services, sesshin retreats, and hosts practice discussion groups. The Sangha also enjoys the use of nearby rural locations for retreats and special events at members homes. All the Sangha’s activities emphasize accordance with traditional Buddhist Precepts toward living in harmony with all beings and respectful acceptance of others
