The mission of the Bodhi Manda is to promote universal well being, helping people to experience their selfless and interdependent nature by providing teachings and training in Zen Buddhist practices and meditation. The Bodhi Manda was founded by Michele E. Martin in 1973 as a place for Buddhist practice and teaching. Zen Master Kyozan Joshu Sasaki was invited to offer his guidance to the center in the Rinzai Zen Buddhist tradition in the same year. Sasaki Roshi came to the West in 1962 when a group of Zen practitioners in Los Angeles asked Myoshin-ji, Japan’s largest Rinzai school, to send a teacher. Sasaki was among several venerable Japanese teachers that helped to nourish the Zen community in North America as interest in Buddhism grew during the 1960’s. The increasing popularity of the Sasaki’s practice in Los Angeles led to the establishment of the Rinzai-ji home temple. It was followed by the creation of training centers and affiliated Zen temples in the United States, Canada and Europe, including the Bodhi Manda. The Bodhi Manda flourished under the guidance of Sasaki Roshi who retired from teaching in January 2012. His lineage is carried forward today by authorized Zen teachers (oshos), monks, nuns, and numerous lay practitioners. Sasaki passed away July 27, 2014. The name 'Bodhi Manda' roughly translates to 'sacred space' or 'the place of awakening.' The facility was originally part of a Roman Catholic monastery, but was converted to suit Buddhist monastic practices. The modern Center of Gravity Foundation Hall was constructed in 2002. The Foundation or Dharma Hall is the place where the monastic world and the lay world meet. Formal monastic training is offered in the spring and fall when the Foundation Hall is used for Sutra chanting and formal Dharma talks. Year round it provides a place for Buddhist ceremonies and meditation as well as marriages, baptisms, funerals and memorial services. The Center has several hot springs that are open to the public during certain times of the year. Each year during the summer the Center is rented to various retreat groups to raise funds to help support the mission of the center. Many individuals have been introduced to Zen Buddhist meditation and practice during such retreats. The Bodhi Manda is a non-profit organization. See also
