Tassajara Zen Center

The Tassajara Zen Center posted this to Facebook this morning:

At around 11:30 pm last night, the Tassajara zendo caught fire. No one was hurt, but the zendo burned down completely. Some of the library was also destroyed. Our gratitude to everyone who worked tirelessly to contain the flames, including local firefighters who were on the scene.

We will share more information as it comes in.

  • Kate,

    Was on scene last night, the Zen Center Resident's Fire Suppression effort was very well done ! Please see the Cachagua Fire District post for further appreciation.

  • Please publicize any way that we can help the Zen Center to recover from this problem.
