    A place to practice Zen close to Seattle, but quiet and wooded on Whidbey Island. 60 acres with a…read morelake. This place was established in 1996 and since then have built a zendo, kitchen, dining hall, teachers quarters, and office, and some residence areas. They have retreats here about 3-10 times a year. Some are a week, some are a few days. Year round residency is a possibility after an interview and permission from the teachers in Japan. This is a Rinzai Zen place in the lineage of Yamada Mumon Roshi, former head of MyoshinJi temple in Kyoto. His student Shodo Harada Roshi is the Abbot and his other student Daichi Osho Roshi is the Co-Abbot. Both offer sanzen instruction when they are here from Japan. The head monk is Dairyo. Currently there is no year round sanzen instruction. It's a very beautiful place and the Japanese style gardens are amazing. The vegetable garden always can use people who like to garden. Zen sitting meditation is held daily mornings and evenings. Visitors are welcome. There are hiking trails around the lake. Sundays 8-9 am there is beginning meditation for all the community followed by tea.

    In the Hakuin line of Japanese Rinzai Zen…read more This monastery is not closed. Every six months or so, a new "head monk' arrives on the scene usually from Taigen Shodo Harada's monastery, Sogen-ji, in Okayama, Japan. In theory, the current monk, DaiRin, will be staying for a longer period, and will be installed as Vice-Abbot. If you are interested in zen practice, the once a month "mini-sesshin" is ideal to get a taste of zen (dhyana-meditation). If you live on Whidbey, Sunday's "Zazenkai" is an even better introduction. Check out their website, www.onedropzendo.org for the full schedule. Currently, Shodo Harada Roshi comes twice a year for a seven-day intensive ("Osesshin"), in February and September. In September of 2011, Shodo Harada Roshi himself will be installed as Abbot.

    This is a place I've recently found while searching for help with overwhelming grief, to say they…read moreare welcoming is an understatement... While I expected they could help me with grief, I did not expect them to be able to help me fix my entire life, things I have been struggling with since I was a child, which is exactly what has happened. Words cannot express how much gratitude I feel for finding this place and these people.

    This monestery is truly a jewel. The Buddhist nuns (women monks) who live, staff and teach at the…read moremonestery are welcoming, sincere and kind. As a level one meditation student, I have found the guided meditations and course instruction to be more beneficial than years of therapy in terms of providing insight into the causes of suffering and showing the way toward a peace of mind. I cannot recommend the free meditation courses highly enough. For the individual who is either brand new to or familiar with Buddhist teaching, the monastery offers an accessible and welcoming learning environment. It is indeed a refuge for those interested in deepening their understanding of wholesome and liberating teachings of the Buddha. The monastery will soon be in transition with a large renovation project starting in the Fall of 2019. In the meantime, it is beautiful and meticulously cared for. Warm lighting and clean, open spaces positively glow with elegant fabrics, inspiring and tasteful Buddhist statues, plants and flowers. The Buddha Jewel monastery is a blessed refuge of sanity, calm and quiet dignity in a chaotic secular world. I can't believe how fortunate we are to have this place located in Shoreline! If you don't live nearby, it is well worth the drive to attend the well-prepared and thoughtfully presented classes. If I had to describe the Buddha Jewel monastery facility and community in one word it would be "integrity". Care and thought and consideration abound in all aspects of the community outreach and education.
