UPPER VALLEY ZEN CENTER Information

The Upper Valley Zen Center (UVZC) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to Rinzai Zen, a Buddhist tradition descended from the 9th century Chinese master Rinzai. We are led by Gendo Allyn Field, lay ordained monk in the community of Zen master Joshu Sasaki. (Click here for a news article about Sasaki Roshi.) Zen Buddhism is a disciplined look into the nature of our human self, into the nature of suffering and its resolution. The Zen Center is located at 58 Bridge Street, White River Junction, Vermont. Our building was once a fire house and is recognized by its tall tower where fire hoses once hung to dry.
