Our Sangha
Dharma Gate Zen:
Dharma Gate Zen was founded to provide a local resource for people of all walks of life to experience and learn ways to gain mindfulness and balance in their lives. In the world we live in today, it is increasingly harder to find time to be with ourselves, to find quiet and peace.
A “Dharma Gate” is simply a vehicle, a way, a practice, a focus. Something that we can use to cross into a better understanding, a better balance, a more compassionate way to live. Everyone is different, and there is an endless number of ways to find happiness.
Dharma Gate Zen offers teaching, classes, and programs centered on building awareness and mindfulness, for people of all backgrounds through the teachings of Zen Buddhism practice as transmitted from generation to generation by traditional teachers. We are a community focused organization that provides a place to learn about, and celebrate, Zen Buddhist culture.
We aim to strip away the esoteric nature of many of these dharma gates and practices and make them approachable and meaningful for people in our local community.
We are a member based temple, an official Non-Profit organization and none of our teachers or staff are paid. All donations are used for the continuation of our organization. If you are interested in visiting prior to becoming a member, please view our visitor guidelines.
