Notes and Events:
The Blue Lotus Dharma Center (BLDC) is operated by the Center for American Buddhist Practice. The BLDC approaches the Teachings of the Buddha in a two-fold way: First is to present the teachings in a very pragmatic way specifically for the American community without abandoning traditional Buddhist ceremonies; Secondly we offer traditional ceremonies that are free from any one specific culture and still strongly promote the true essence, proper conduct and requirements of those ceremonies.
The BLDC supports all reasonable Buddhist traditions and offers an environment where practitioners from any tradition/lineage can come and practice. This is not meant to be a replacement for those that are members of specific lineages or orders, but rather a “home away from home” for those that may not have a center or temple near by. For others, due to the approach to the Buddha Dharma that the BLDC offers, this is home. Either way, everyone is welcome.
One of the ways the BLDC looks to support all Buddhist traditions and the community of practitioners as a whole is by seeking to invite as many qualified teachers from the various schools and traditions to come and give teachings, empowerments or talks. The intent is to not only provide insight and education but to also promote a sense of unity between the various traditions, developing insight, knowledge and deeper awareness within a safe and open-minded community.

Notes and Events:
Bo Kwang Zen Center was formed to teach and propagate Zen Buddhism in the west. Zen Buddhism, with its emphasis on meditation, is a way of cultivating compassion and wisdom through radical acceptance of what is. Meditation becomes an awareness and mindfulness of all that is, moment-to-moment and an appreciation of life in all its manifestations.
Although individuals are encouraged to become members and deepen their spiritual practice with others of this sangha under the direction of the Temple Monk, people of all faith traditions are invited to gather with us as we seek to foster greater communion and understanding among all beings.
Retreats, workshops and classes will be offered as determined by need and interest.
We are affiliated with the Korean Buddhist Taego order; one of the largest Zen orders in the world. We are also members of the International Mook Rim Society, a liberal Buddhist movement that strives for social justice and inter religious dialogue.

Notes and Events:
Dhamma Sukha Meditation Center ( DSMC) and Anathapindikas Study Park Complex is located in the Ozark mountain forest near to Ironton, MO. it is supported by the United International Buddha Dhamma Society (UIBDS). The center offers one-on-one personal training and investigation retreats for two weeks at a time with Most Ven, Bhante Vimalaramsi and Ven. Sister Khema who train people in Tranquil Wisdom insight Meditation. This practice brings together again the practices of Serenity and Insight Meditation as they were originally given to us through the early Pali Canon.
The center is located on 102 acres of land about 13 miles outside of Ironton, Missouri. Presently (DEC-2010) the center has a capacity for up to 11 students in training at one time. More residences are under construction. there is vast support for this project around the world now. The monastic area can train three people at one time in a separate area and is growing.
The summer months of Rains retreat, usually July - October, are best for training. Retreats can begin as early as April if approved. Visiting monks present Pali classes, assist with research and writing, teach Buddhist history, and Sutta study is daily addressed through Dhamma talks which students are encouraged to investigate. Dhamma English is taught to monks and nuns here also. There is an active Ordination program for men and women.
This is a rustic environment where you will be asked to practice what you hear in Dhamma talks to confirm it when you see it. There are daily interviews with students. There are outside and inside sitting and walking areas.
If interested in attending, you should contact Sister Khema. this year 2011 there will be two week limts for first time visitors. Times may later be extended on other visits upon approval by the Abbot. This practice is one you can take with you into life and it changes everything and brings back your smile according to the level of your understanding. It is great. It certainly wakes up your understanding of the Dhamma by tweaking whatever you have been practicing and is very useful.
Visiting monastics should contact Sister Khema to then be approved by Ven. Vimalaramsi for training and assistance.
Contact us through the website for more information.
We look forward to hearing from you.
In the Dhamma
Ven. Sister Khema
