Tassajara Zen Centre
by A fellow meditator
(California)
This is their incredible mountain setting!
Hi there Ian,
I have studied meditation of different kinds in several places, but my absolute favorite is the TASSAJARA ZEN CENTRE.
They have several centers, but the main one is in the mountains behind Big Sur in California, it is in a beautiful setting in the mountains, and they offer all sorts of meditation courses each summer.
The teachers there all all very expert and caring, and can really teach Zen meditation very well.
(Another great thing that they have to offer is an absolutely incredible Tassajara Bread Book, which is full of wonderful bread recipes, I have had a copy for years, and regularly try out their recipes, to the delight of all my friends!)
They have a website at www.sfzc.org/tassajara that gives all the information that you need.
Strongly recommended as a resource for Zen.
(Many thanks - This has been somewhere that I have always wanted to go but never made it - although I also have their amazing Tassajara Bread Book, I agree - worth having.....Ian)
