While the Bodhi Manda Zen Center is Japanese in origin, led by Kyozan Joshu Sasaki Roshi, all of its members are English-speaking. Formal training is offered in the spring and fall, and is open to everyone on a first-come-first-serve basis. Check the website below for more information.

The Zen Center also has several hot springs which are open to the public during certain times of the year, though a donation of $10 per person is suggested.

The name 'Bodhi Manda' means the same thing as 'Bodhi Mandala,' which the center was once called, and roughly translates to 'sacred space' or 'the place of awakening.'
