We are a small group of people who come together to study ourselves and to forget ourselves in order to awaken to the Buddha's truth.(Dogen)

We are literally a backyard practice where we sit every week and study together. We are affiliated with The Zen Buddhist Order of Hsu Yun and study Soto Zen, Chan and Theravada Buddhism.

In many ways we are a melting pot of Buddhism much like the United States.

Resident Priest, Liz Hulsizer.
Liz is a practitioner of Soto Zen and Chan Buddhism.
She also has a strong affinity for Theravada Buddhism. Her main teaching is purification of action (karma) and deepening practice.
