“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.
To be actualized by myriad things is to realize 'no-barrier' between self and other."
Eihei Dogen, 13th Century
Welcome
BDG is a small, lay-led practice community in the Soto Zen (Japanese) tradition of Buddhism.
We benefit from a direct affiliation with Reverend Dai-En Bennage of Mount Equity Zendo in PA, as well as Dharma connections to the Thich Nhat Hanh (Plum Village) and the Zen Peacemakers communities.
Our Practice
We practice sitting zazen, walking meditation (kinhin), deep listening and speaking from the heart in the tradition of Zen Buddhism.
