LIBRARY & RESEARCH
The sangha intends to deploy the extensive collection of books we currently own in a formal library setup in the near future. This will allow book checkouts, etc. For the most recent news, as always, please subscribe to our email list.
If you have a paper you are writing on Buddhism, Zen, comparative religions, etc, and would like our assistance in answering your questions or setting up interviews with our teachers and sangha members, please email us with your request. Or, attend one of our services–everyone there will be happy to have you and to help however we can.
