Day Visits and Guests

While we cautiously begin opening to limited in-person practice, we continue our online teachings, meetings and sittings every day. Read our full Covid Protocols here. 

Dai Bosatsu Zendo is open for day visitors and tours from March through November, except during intensive retreats. If you would like to visit the monastery, please call us in advance at (845) 439-4566 to check on our schedule. As we are a practicing religious community and a private property, we cannot accommodate casual visitors who wish to enjoy our grounds.

During the quieter weeks of our calendar, established Zen students may stay overnight at the monastery and join in our practice schedule for a fee of $75 per night. Please call or email the monastery office to inquire about the availability of specific dates.

If you are looking for some quiet time alone, O-an cottage is available. This lovely cottage can sleep two people comfortably and has its own kitchen and bathroom. There is abundant wildlife and spectacular mountain scenery to be enjoyed, but most of all there is a sense of serenity that provides a perfect place to learn and grow or just to retreat and rest. To see more photos of O-an, click here for PDF. The cost is $200/night. We will need at least two weeks advance notice for guests at O-an cottage. Please email DBZ office or call us at (845) 439-4566 for more information or to reserve your place.

PRACTICE

What Is Zen?
Zen is the direct experience of what we might call ultimate reality, or the absolute, yet it is not separate from the ordinary, the relative. Read More

How To Practice:
Zen is a path that must be studied, practiced, and actualized. The core of Zen practice is Zazen. Read More
