Greg Edwards

Greg Edwards is grateful to serve on the Morgan Bay Zendo Board, where he brings a practical mix of nonprofit leadership, finance and operations experience, facilities knowledge, and land stewardship. He is an owner at Edwards, Faust & Smith, CPAs in Bangor and has served in leadership roles with Bangor Beautiful, the Bangor Tree Board, and other community organizations. He also brings hands-on experience caring for buildings, grounds, and native landscapes.

Greg first studied Buddhism as a student at the University of Maine and later came to Zen practice through Morgan Bay Zendo and Zen DownEast. Since 2022, he has maintained a personal zazen practice, participated in Sunday services at MBZ, and, through Zen DownEast, attended sesshins, zazenkai, and precept study. He received the Bodhisattva Precepts in 2025. His practice is also shaped by yoga, ecological spirituality, and a deep appreciation for the sacred interconnection of the natural world.
