Welcome to the Bozeman Zen Group
We are a sangha of lay and ordained practitioners in Bozeman, Montana and part of Bozeman Dharma Center. We practice in the Sōtō Zen lineage of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi.
Practice with us, in-person and virtually:
Sunday Morning Program on Zoom
Silent meditation plus a book study, from 8:00-9:15 AM online. We are currently reading Inside Vasubandhu’s Yogacara: A Practitioner’s Guide by Ben Connelly. You do not need to have the book to participate. Join us any Sunday.
Sunday Evening Program, in-person
5:00-6:30 PM at the Bozeman Dharma Center. Program consists of Zazen, Service, Tea and a Dharma Talk or dialogue. Usually the first Sunday of the month is traditional practice – with two periods of zazen, kinhin and an extended service (chanting and bowing).
NOTE: On September 28, Dave Smith will give a dharma talk on Mindfulness and the Addiction Economy. The Zen Group will not have formal practice that night.
To study the Buddha Way is to study the self. To study the self is to forget the self. To forget the self is to be actualized by myriad things.
