Welcome

 

Dragon Lake Zen is a Boulder-based organization of Zen practitioners who are longtime students of Diane Musho Hamilton Roshi. We practice in the White Plum branch of Soto Zen Buddhism, and live at the fruitful intersection of deep tradition and bold innovation. We assert that there exists, here and now, a way and a training that can welcome our divisions, clarify value, and align with the currents of life-force that bring unreasonable joy, clear wisdom, and unconditioned compassion to all beings.

Dragon Lake Zen and Dragon Moon Zen warmly invite you to become a member.

You are invited to join us in building a connected, thriving and purposeful community through becoming a member of Dragon Lake Zen and Dragon Moon Zen. Your generosity supports us to deepen our offerings, our service, and our collaborations.

Ten thousand flowers in spring, the moon in autumn,
a cool breeze in summer, snow in winter.
If your mind isn't clouded by unnecessary things,
this is the best season of your life.

 

~ Wu Men Hui-k’ai (Mumon)
