Learning To Listen Yoga & Meditation
Center is a nonprofit community committed to offering tools that
promote conscious living. Our goal is liberation, to allow freedom
for all — especially freedom from oppressive
mind thoughts. We feel that the result of this freedom will be world
peace. |

Spirit Rock Meditation Center is dedicated to the teachings of
the Buddha as presented in the vipassana tradition. The practice

The purpose of San Francisco Zen Center is to make accessible and
embody the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha as expressed in the
Soto Zen tradition established by Dogen Zenji in 13th-century Japan
and conveyed to us by Suzuki Roshi and other Buddhist teachers. Our
practice flows from the insight that all beings are Buddha, and that
sitting in meditation is itself the realization of Buddha nature,
or enlightenment. |

Tassajara Zen Mountain Center is a Zen Buddhist community established
by San Francisco Zen Center in 1966. From April through September,
Tassajara is open to guests and offers a variety of work-study programs,
workshops and retreats. For the rest of the year it is closed to
the public so that students of Zen can engage in traditional monastic
training periods. |

Our effort at
Green Gulch is to awaken in ourselves and the many people who
come here the bodhisattva spirit, the spirit of kindness and
realistic helpfulness. This is how we offer our understanding
of Buddha's Way. In addition to the temple program of zen and
study, Green Gulch includes an organic farm and garden, as well
as a guest house and conference center. |
