Dharma Drum Mountain San Francisco Bay Area Center

Our needs are few; our wants many. Do your utmost – no matter who gains or loses. Compassion has no enemies; wisdom, no vexations. The busiest have the most time; the diligent, the best health. The charitable are blessed; the virtuous, happy. The charitable are blessed; the virtuous, happy. Let the measure of your heart be great; the size of your ego, small.

Fremont Center

Our main center is located in Fremont, California, in the southeastern part of the San Francisco Bay Area. Our mission is to support everyone in cultivating spiritual peace and calmness, which is often missing in our modern world. We provide guidance not only in Chan meditation and group practice sessions but also a wide range of courses on Buddhism to help participants discover inner peace in their lives. Since our founding, the San Francisco Center has become a hub for spirituality and community connection, attracting those seeking spiritual growth through the exploration and practice of Buddhist wisdom together.

Silicon Valley Center

The Dharma Drum Mountain Silicon Valley Center is our new branch in Cupertino. The aim of the Silicon Valley Center is to offer a space where busy residents can rediscover their sense of freedom of body and mind, and find joy and harmony in their hectic lives.
As we expand our engagements, our new center will gradually host more events, including guidance in meditation, group meditation sessions, Chan art workshops, book clubs, and lectures on both Buddhist and casual topics. All are very welcome – stay tuned for more!
