Providence Zen Center, Buddhist meditation center in Cumberland, Rhode Island, US

The Providence Zen Center extends across 50 acres with meditation halls, residential spaces, gardens, and a 65-foot pagoda near the entrance.

Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn established the Providence Zen Center in 1972, starting at Doyle Avenue before moving to Cumberland in 1979.

The center functions as the main temple of the Kwan Um School of Zen in North America, combining Korean Buddhist traditions with American practices.

Weekly introduction classes for meditation occur on Wednesdays, including dinner, instruction sessions, and chanting practices open to all participants.

The Diamond Hill Zen Monastery on the grounds hosts three-month winter and four-week summer meditation retreats following Korean Buddhist traditions.
