Bells Mountain
Dharma Center
Welcome!
We are a residential community, both lay and ordained, from the Zen Buddhist tradition. We offer practices and support structures for people to clarify their bodies, hearts, and minds so that they may live lives of integrity, kindness, and connection. We welcome all who wish to practice with us, regardless of religion, belief, race, gender, or sexual orientation. We recognize that fundamental to our health as human beings is our relationship with one another and with the earth.
All public events are listed on our calendar page. Feel free to call or email with any questions or to inquire about residency.
Join us for our Saturday Morning Public Program!
