The Cache Valley Sangha
of Logan, Utah
The Cache Valley Sangha is a group of spiritual aspirants who share an interest in Buddhism and meditation practice. Meditation, daily mindfulness, and following the teachings of the Buddha are our focus. We welcome both traditional and contemporary versions of Buddhism, and we open the embrace of Buddhism to include complementary insights from other spiritual traditions that emphasize mindfulness, awakening, and compassion.
We meet weekly on Monday evenings from 7:15 to 8:45 at the Cache Valley Unitarian Universalist Church. 596 East 900 North. Logan, Utah. One of our members also offers a free hatha yoga class Mondays at 6:00, p.m., at the same location.
Our Sangha is not a formal Buddhist community in the traditional sense. We have no monks or ordained teacher or master. The sangha is intensely practice-based, drawing on different Buddhist traditions—Mahayana, Zen, Vajrayana, Theravada—rather than being formally aligned with one particular tradition. Some members also participate in more formal communities, such as Thich Nhat Hanh's community and the Big Mind Zen Center of Salt Lake City, or are actively working under teachers in traditions such as Tibetan Buddhism and the Vedanta tradition.
In addition, we have members active in local churches--Catholic, Mormon, and Unitarian Universalist, for example. Many members also participate in the general community through work with local spiritual and charitable programs which are consistent with the teachings of the Buddha.
(Please see our "Opening Intention" and Calendar located on separate pages of this website.)
We are an open and welcoming sangha. Please join us if you are interested in Buddhism and meditation.
