Come explore our newly updated bookstore, with its unique collection of Buddhist- and Zen-themed books, cards, statues, meditation supplies, and pottery made by local artists. While you’re here, be sure to check out the extraordinary origami portrait of Suzuki Roshi by Lilli Lanier.

Remembering Mary Watson

I want to invite us to be with Mary's spirit, because she really embodied compassion. When Blanche gave her the precepts, she gave her the name, Eyes of Compassion, Nurturing Teacher, and that's what Mary was.
