Founded in 1973 by Zen Master Kyozan Joshu Roshi, the Bodhi
Manda Zen Center sits in the Jemez Mountains, about 60
miles northwest of Albuquerque, New Mexico. To commemorate
the 40th anniversary of the Center's founding, the decision
was made to build a Foundation Hall. According to the Center's
web page, the Hall "is the place where the monastic world
and the lay world meet...[it] is used for Sutra chanting and
Teisho (formal Dharma talks)...it provides a place for Buddhist
ceremonies, as well as marriages, baptisms, funerals, and
memorial services...[it] will serve as a silent hall where
participants can meditate and contemplate indoors."
