Welcome
Zen is the practice of Buddhism, the discipline and insight founded by the historical Buddha 2500 years ago. Our Center and the affiliated Dartmouth Zen Practice are led by Gendo Allyn Field, lay monk in the Rinzai Zen tradition. He received ordination from Joshu Sasaki in 2003 and suijishiki (osho ordination) from Sandy Gentei Stewart in 2013.
We are located on the ground floor of 58 Bridge Street (The Main Street Museum). Find us down the driveway next to the building. Park by the River and enter on that level. Welcome. Click here to contact us with your questions.
ZEN CENTER ART SHOW submit date: April 20th
Upper Valley Zen Center will host a weekend gallery of local art May 2nd and 3rd, 2014,* as both a promotion for local artists and as a fundraiser for the Zen Center. Income from any work sold will be divided equally between the artist and the Zen Center, unless an artist chooses a larger contribution to the Zen Center.
Artists who wish to participate in the show are asked to submit a photograph along with dimensions of their work and price by April 20th, 2014. Juried selections will be announced by April 24th, 2014 We ask that work displayed in the show be accompanied by an artist statement, with comment regarding why the piece felt appropriate for display in connection with Zen, however that is understood by the artist.
