Our Beliefs
We believe in the mystery that is our life. The Buddhadharma teaches us that our lives function within questions and not inside of ideas, constructs, metaphors or philosophies. Following our path which leads from some of the greatest modern teachers of Zen Buddhism in the West -- which include Seung Sahn Dae Jong Sa, Hòa Thượng Dr. Thich Thien-An, Hòa Thượng Thich Man Giac, Hòa Thượng Dr. Suhita Dharma, Hòa Thượng Thich An Giao and Ven. Dr. Wonji Dharma -- we engage our lives in this moment, without dependence upon the past, the present, or the future. We engage our lives with the constant unfolding of each and every moment, while radiating the true love and compassion of the Buddha Way.
