The
Vimala Sangha (Vimala Zen Center) is
a Buddhist group based in Mill Valley, California, under the spiritual
guidance of Buddhist teacher Lew Richmond. It takes its name from
Vimalakirti, the householder whose wisdom was said to surpass
that of all the Buddha's other great disciples.
We
are committed to using all aspects of householder life--the
workplace, the intimacy of committed relationship, the challenge
of raising children – as instances of the Great Koan of
human existence.
Vimala
Sangha's forms of practice and methods of inquiry are
illuminated by the American experience, and respectful of all
the teachings and schools of Buddhism.

"When you are
you, then Zen is Zen." - Shunryu
Suzuki Roshi
"Religion
does not mean just precepts, a temple, monastery, or other external
signs, for these as well as hearing and thinking are subsidiary
factors in taming the mind. When the mind becomes the practices,
one is a practitioner of religion, and when the mind does
not become the practices one is not. "
-- H. H. The Dalai Lama
