About
Zen Tradition in the Pacific Northwest
Three Treasures Sangha of the Pacific Northwest (TTS) is a lay Zen group located in Seattle, Washington and affiliated with the Diamond Sangha, an independent lineage founded by Robert Aitken Rōshi, a dharma heir in the Sanbō Kyōdan (Harada-Yasutani-Yamada) lineage.
Essentials
Three Treasures Sangha offers periodic orientation to our Zen practice. We offer sitting one morning and one evening per week, a monthly zazenkai (full day of sitting), and two sesshins (intensive multi-day silent retreats) each year. Our practice includes dokusan (practice-related interview) with the teacher.
You do not need to be a member of Three Treasures Sangha to sit zazen with us. If you’re a beginner, though, we ask that you attend an orientation about how to sit zazen.
Dharma Gate
Dharma Gate is our primary zendo. Located in south Seattle, it is a renovated house with a zendo, kitchen, library, dokusan room and beautiful garden. Our weekly and monthly sittings, and garden retreats, are held here.
Dharma Gate is located at 1910 – 24th Ave S. P.O. Box 12542 Seattle, WA 98111
Mountain Lamp
Three Treasures Sangha is associated with Mountain Lamp, a rural retreat center located in beautiful Deming, Washington. Three Treasures holds its fall sesshin there every year, and it is a place where our teacher offers practice opportunities in the Robert Aitken tradition.
To find out more about Mountain Lamp retreats, go to the Events page on its website.
