  • San Francisco Zen Center, Ron N (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    San Francisco Zen Center was established in 1962 by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi (1904-1971)the author of the modern spiritual classic, Zen Mind, Beginner's Mind. Its purpose is to make accessible and embody the wisdom and compassion of the Buddha as expressed in the Soto Zen tradition established by Dogen Zenji in 13th-century Japan. Today, San Francisco Zen Center is one of the largest Buddhist sanghas (communities) outside Asia. It has three practice places: City Center (shown here on the map); Green Gulch Farm, whose organic fields meet the ocean in Marin County; and Tassajara Zen Mountain Center—the first Zen training monastery in the West—in the Ventana Wilderness inland from Big Sur. These three centers offer daily meditation, regular monastic retreats and practice periods, classes, lectures, and workshops. You can visit www.sfzc.org to download podcasts by Zen Center's various teachers. Zen Center programs also reach out to the community, helping prisoners, the homeless, and those in recovery; protecting the environment; and working for peace.
  • The Potrero Terrace projects, egoldin (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    I live about a half block away right now, and while there is occasional violence (someone got shot on the corner of Madera and Wisconsin last week), I feel relatively safe driving through or walking by during the day time. I wouldn't walk around the projects at night, but I'm perfectly content living nearby 75 feet up the street.

  • Grace Marchant Garden, paul (guest) wrote 17 years ago:
    I'm proud to mention that Grace was my great aunt and every time I get to San Francisco I walk the steps in amazement at what she accomplished. I live near Seattle so it's only every 20 years or so I get to enjoy her handy work. Being there just a month ago (May 2009), I'm glad to see that the neighboirhood still cares for the gardens.

    The empty lot was the former site of a church. The final occupant was a Baptist congregation. An arsonist burned the building down in 1993. More info here: http://www.baptistchurchsf.org/ourhistory.html
