Jamesburg and Tassajara Road continue to be under mandatory evacuation as efforts are being made to contain the fire near the Observatory. Thank you to everyone who has responded to our fundraising appeal so far. We are very grateful and encouraged by your support and well-wishes. We need your supportAs grateful as we are that everyone at Tassajara is safe for now and that the fire damage to buildings is not as extensive as it might have been, we are still in dire need of your help. The entire Zen Center community relies on the income generated by the Tassajara guest season to support and sustain not only Tassajara, but also the City Center and Green Gulch Farm throughout the year. In addition to lost income, we are looking at huge clean-up and significant rebuilding projects. We are deeply grateful for your donations at this time of loss and uncertainty. Thank you. The Black Mountain Zen Centre of Belfast Ireland is organizing a benefit in behalf of Tassajara. Mora McAleenan, a student of Abbot Ryushin Paul Haller and a former Tassajara resident, is hoping to raise £1000 through donations, book sales and a benefit event scheduled for July 19. We are deeply grateful for their support and generosity. The dharma tree roots run deep and wide, and know no barriers. Previous UpdatesHere is a list of past updates and fire watch maps.
