STATUS UPDATE
Hurricane Irene, August 28, left our Zen Center under five feet of water and mud, and our Zen community adrift. Thanks to Mat Doyle of Heron Graphic Arts, we have had temporary quarters a block away. Thanks to our landlord, David Ford of the Mainstreet Museum, walls are repaired, new wiring and heating almost completed, four plus months later.
Saturday January 7th marked our first work party since initial mud shoveling August 29th. A hardworking crew swept, scrubbed, mopped, and painted. Thanks to all who pitched in, we were able to set up for sitting practice again, for the first time, Sunday morning, January 8th.
There remains much work to be done, and, before long, a reopening celebration. Stay posted.

UVZC
Joshu Sasaki Roshi
The Upper Valley Zen Center (UVZC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to Rinzai Zen, a Buddhist tradition descended from the 9th century Chinese master Rinzai. We are led by Gendo Allyn Field, lay ordained monk in the community of Zen master Joshu Sasaki. Zen Buddhism is a disciplined look into the nature of our human self, into the nature of suffering and its resolution.
The Zen Center is located at 58 Bridge Street, White River Junction, Vermont. Our building was once a fire house and is recognized by its tall tower where fire hoses once hung to dry. To find us, drive around behind the building, park beside the river and come in the ground floor entrance
