It’s week 2 of our Fall 2026 Membership Drive. This week, meet Mary!

This July, Charlie Sensei interviewed Dr. Santosh Raut in which he reflects on his recent visit to Boundless Mind Temple. He also discusses his deep friendship with the late Alan Senauke, a Soto Zen lineage holder, and explores broader themes connecting Ambedkar’s legacy to socially engaged Buddhism.

We’re grateful to sangha members, teachers, and staff for offering chances to practice and gather together during the break. Here is what’s on and what’s not during BZC’s Summer pause.

Martin Duus recently stepped down from BZC’s Board of Directors after six years of service, including as Board Chair. With his permission, and our deep thanks, we’re passing on his farewell note.

Did you know that BZC’s first ever art auction was inspired in part by Kikuko Morimoto, whose work helped plant the seed for BZC sangha member and auction organizer Matthew Menzies, that grew into this fundraiser?
