About the Center
A mahasangha rooted in the Gallatin Valley since 1998.
Our model
The Bozeman Dharma Center is a mahasangha — a home for multiple Buddhist sanghas and contemplative communities under one roof. We don't promote a single tradition. We provide the physical and organizational space so each sangha can flourish on its own terms while being part of something larger.
Our values
- Dana-based. Teachings and practice are offered freely. Those who benefit support the center as they can.
- Diverse. We hold Theravada, Zen, Tibetan, Recovery Dharma, and secular mindfulness practice under one roof.
- Hybrid. Most sittings join people in the zendo with practitioners on Zoom.
- Volunteer-run. The center is sustained by sangha members who answer email, set up cushions, and keep the lights on.
