    Looking for peace and need a place to let go of life's problems? This is a place of calm and…read moreserenity! Not only do they have a beautiful indoor facility there is also an outdoor retreat! A meditation enlightenment path that takes you to beautiful waterfalls, flower gardens, magnificent statues, resting spaces with picnic tables and benches and shady spots to rest your weary, tired bones. It is a paved path so if needed you can push a family member or friend in a wheelchair so all people can enjoy this lovely outdoor space. This is a free facility to visit and donations are accepted if you feel moved and want to help with the mission of peace. Out of respect I did not take photos of the interior of the sanctuary. Trust me, it's beautiful and you'll want to visit in person. I am so fortunate that I live close by and can visit regularly. Whether you are a local or are from out of town, it is a true gift to be able to have a place like this in Colorado!

    I had the pleasure of visiting this monastery for an English Speaking Day of Mindfulness. They hold…read morethem regularly and you can find the schedule on their website. You can also subscribe to e-mail updates regarding upcoming events (under Contact). It's an all-day affair (930AM - 400PM) but I left before lunch (1230PM). We started with sitting meditation, then went outside for a walking meditation and some tai chi, and then went back inside for a Dharma talk. It was a wonderful experience. Meditation in a Buddhist setting is always healing but I felt that their guided meditation was particularly effective. The monk was very adept at leading the group and offered useful techniques such as focusing on physical objects. Additionally, the walking meditation was a beautiful experience. The grounds are lovely and we were instructed to focus on physical sensations (we were barefoot), as well as sights, smells, and sounds. It was very therapeutic and serene. -These events as well as any visits to the monastery are all donation-based. Please give. -As with any other Buddhist buildings, no shoes are allowed inside. -Wear comfortable and loose clothing that covers shoulders and knees. -The monastery is in the mountains so it's about 10 degrees colder than Denver. The event involves walking meditation so bring layers. -Children are welcome. Directions: Starting in southwest Denver at the intersection of Highways 285 and C-470, head south on Highway 285 for 8.3 miles to S. Settler's Drive. There is a fire department on the right. Turn right onto S. Settler's Drive and make an immediate left, then the first right, then left into the parking area.

    My review is for the online courses (although I see that the new location is walking distance from…read moremy home!). After moving to Denver I was hopeful that I would be able to connect with a center and I was delighted to find that there is a thriving community here. I was able to quickly locate the available classes, purchase both individual classes, and now a membership. This weekend was an online retreat and I found it easy to attend and follow along. The sound and video were fantastic and the classes started and ended on time, which I greatly appreciate. Now that I've signed up for a monthly membership, I'm looking forward to taking a stroll around the lake to class as weather and pandemic restrictions allow.

    I first visited in 2002, and liked the classes a ton. Buddhism has some great perspectives…read more Actually lived in their Cap Hill house for a year before moving up to Fort Collins. It was a great experience. Now I visit when I can. Their downtown space is very cool and peaceful inside, and people are very welcoming. You don't need to bring anything. They have cushions and comfy chairs. I bring a notebook; Kadam Lucy always has something I want to remember. PARKING: People complain about parking downtown, but it's not so bad. There are two parking lots basically next door, so it's not hard to find. The one on Glenarm is $5 for the day except when there's something big going on downtown, and then it's $20. When it's $20, I go to the parking lot behind it (other side of the alley). It'll be $10. But street parking works too. The teachers are aware to keep the class short enough for the meter :-). And Sundays are free parking.

    Denver doesn't have very many Zen centers. But, we do have a very strong center with the ZCD…read more It's a beautiful setting, with comfortable carpeted floors (no shoes), tall ceilings, and an intricate shrine alcove. The center is easily accessible to those new to Buddhism or Meditation, with instruction available from qualified teachers in a setting that is separate from the main sitting room, so you don't feel intimidated by all those people in robes. Show up a little early so they know you need the lesson. Regular sittings, often twice a day. Regular talks and retreats. Nice folks. Check the calendar: http://www.zencenterofdenver.org/Calendar/ or the website for more info: http://www.zencenterofdenver.org/ For those more familiar with Zen practice, the ZCD leans a little to the Rinzai side, lineage is Robert Aitken Roshi's Diamond Sangha.

All of the beginner students were welcomed upon arrival and we were given basic instructions prior to the meditation session starting. I felt comfortable and prepared based on the instructions offered. The group was a mix of visitors and regular members and followed the structure of 25 minutes seated meditation, 5 minutes of walking meditation, a second 25 minute seated meditation and second 5 minute walking meditation. Following the meditation, the primary teacher and two group leaders offered basic insights on buddhism, the zen tradition and their group. They also invited us to become a regular member of their community, which was nice. While I am a fairly seasoned meditation practitioner, I appreciated the guidance and basic understanding of a practice that I am less familiar with, and I would recommend the beginner night event to anyone new to meditation, or interested in exploring the zen tradition.
