Welcome to Green Gulch Farm
Green Dragon Temple/Green Gulch Farm (Soryu-ji) is a Buddhist practice center in the Japanese Soto Zen tradition, offering training in Zen meditation, philosophy, and work practice. The mission of Green Gulch Farm is to awaken the bodhisattva spirit—the spirit of kindness and realistic helpfulness—as a living enactment of Buddha’s Way.
Green Gulch offers sittings, practice periods, other Zen practice events, Sunday Dharma talks (in-person and through the Online Zendo), and workshops. Please visit the Calendar page for more details. Sign up for our Sangha News newsletter to receive notices of upcoming events.
Applications are currently being accepted for the Kitchen and Guest Apprenticeship Programs, the Farm & Land Steward Apprenticeship Program, and for Guest Student Stays.
We are unable to offer day visitor parking at this time to hikers and others who are passing through Green Gulch Farm. Please remain on the marked trails. Green Gulch facilities are closed to the general public.
