Welcome
Zen is the practice of Buddhism, the discipline and insight founded by the historical Buddha 2500 years ago, carried from India, through China and Japan and, now, to the United States. 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, parking by the River and entering on that level. Welcome. Feel free to contact us with your questions.
