About Five Mountain Zen Order Bridging the gap between the timeless wisdom of the East and the fresh pragmatism of the West, we are a diverse group of people who come together to share the practice of meditation and study the principles of Buddhism. The purpose of the group is to offer instruction in these practices and teachings, and to provide a place where people can form a community that supports their practice in everyday life. All of our programs are open to everyone, regardless of previous experience or background. Our Order maintains no affiliations with other Zen organizations or religious denominations; however, membership in the Five Mountain Zen Order community does not preclude individual affiliation with other groups. Within Five Mountain Zen there is no hierarchy amongst Dharma successors. Zen Buddhism is universal; the medium and methods used to facilitate realization vary according to each individual’s circumstances. Dharma successors within the Five Mountain Zen Order may apply varied practice approaches and resolve on the structure of any construct that she or he may develop to facilitate practice. Our Dharma successors recognize they are ongoing students and that the value of their teaching derives from the quality of their practice. As continuing students, our teachers are dedicated to the openness and flexibility of practice, wherein the wisdom of the unconditional may be manifest in life. A vital component of the Five Mountain Zen Order community is the continuing examination and expansion of efficacious instruction approaches to ensure all-inclusive observation in every aspect of life. |
