Bells Mountain

Dharma Center

Welcome!

We are a residential Zen community of lay and ordained practitioners aspiring to awaken presence, wisdom, and kindness upon this Earth. We are committed to maintaining the essential wisdom teachings, practices, and forms of our Zen Buddhist lineage while manifesting the Bodhisattva Vow of compassion through a deeply ecological lens and modeling a healthy lifestyle that supports physical, psychological, and social wellbeing.

“For as long as space endures,

and for as long as living beings remain,

so then may I too abide

to dispel the misery of the world”

- Shantideva
