On America's Bicentennial, July

Mountains of New York State. Situated on 1,400 acres in the Catskill

This site is devoted to the authentic
representation of the Kagyu Lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, one of the
four major schools of Buddhism preserved and practiced in Tibet. The
term Karma Triyana Dharmachakra is from the Sanskrit and translates
loosely as "the place under the spiritual guidance and protection
of His Holiness the Gyalwa Karmapa (Karma) where all three (Tri) levels
(yana) of the Buddha's teachings (Dharma) are preserved and taught (chakra)."
The term, as used for this Web site, refers in particular to His Holiness
Karmapa's main monastic seat in North America at Woodstock, New York,
and generally to all of the projects and activities that manifest from
there through His Holiness's inspiration, blessings, and activities.
Zen Mountain Monastery is an American
Zen Buddhist monastery and training center for female and male monastic
and lay practitioners. Nestled in the Catskill Mountains of upstate
New York; its 230-acre nature preserve and historic main building offer
an atmosphere conducive to self-study and introspection. From its inception
in 1980, the Monastery has maintained an ongoing daily schedule of zazen
and monthly meditation intensives (sesshins). Each month there is an
introductory weekend of Zen training. On average forty-five special
retreats are offered each year, highlighting the Eight Gates of Zen
Training as taught in the Mountains and Rivers Order. Students can train
in either full-time or part-time residency or as nonresidents whose
practice at home is fueled by periodic visits to the Monastery and the
support of sitting together with others in one of the affiliate centers/groups
of the Society of Mountains and Rivers. At all times the training program
is devoted to one thing only: the clear and direct realization of enlightenment
in practice.
