An Independent Buddhist Sangha Dharma Teachings, Meditation, Retreats, & Spiritual Guidance

Anattasati Magga is a sangha, or Buddhist community, devoted to the practice of Zen Buddhism. We offer meditation, services, Dharma discussions and lectures, retreats, meditation supplies, and more. The Sangha practices in Asheville and Bryson City, North Carolina, and in Sonora and Lotus, California and follows the tradition of Soto Zen.

“To study Buddhism is to study the self; To study the self is to forget the self; To forget the self is to be enlightened by all things.”
- Great Master Dogen

About Sujata

Lay Teacher Nancy Spence (Sujata Yasa) founded Anattasati Magga in response to the needs of those lay people seeking no limits to the depth of their practice. Sujata began lay training in 1977 and entered Priest training at Vichara Bodhiyana Monastery in California. She then trained as a Lay Minister at Shasta Abbey in Mt. Shasta, California and received her Lay Minister license in 1984. Most recently, she was ordained as Lay Teacher Sujata Yasa in 2012 and goes by this name now.

“My predominant impression is ‘fresh.’ How refreshing it is to be in conversation—either one-on-one or in a group setting—with someone who listens with complete attention.”

- Dr. Fred Richter, on his first encounter with Sujata's teaching

Deepen Your Practice

Anattasati Magga offers many opportunities to deepen your practice, from Dokusan with Sujata, to classes covering classic Buddhist texts, as well as the study of contemporary Buddhist thinkers, to the opportunity to participate in our Lay Minister Certification Program.
