Dharma Bum Temple

Very accessible and welcoming to newcomers as well as folks already on various Paths of recovery. Highly recommend. Great community and teachers.

I absolutely love dharma bum temple and what they offer to the community.

Nice people but very few practice vegan or vegetarian lifestyle which is essential for spiritual growth.

They do a lot of good community service but as a spiritual center they are also very skeptical in their interpretation of the Buddhas teaching. In particular the hindrance of doubt is very prevalent and may be interfering with the spiritual practice of members and leaders.

Awesome community. Very welcoming to new people. If you are on the fence, just come check it out.

Wonderful place for learning Buddhist Dharma and Eightfold Path recovery. The vibe is very warm and peaceful. The sangha is kind and welcoming. There are several recovery events on their schedule. Their website is super easy to navigate. A friend brought me to one meeting a few weeks ago; now I’ve been going to two each week!

I am re-editing my review now that I have gone here for several months and have become more familiar with the facilities and offerings.

This is my safe place to come to knowing when I leave I will be in a much better head space. Whether it's recovery from drugs/alcohol or just a jumbled racing mind, my time spent here has been precious to me and the friendships that have grown out of attending these practices are ones I will cherish forever. Jeffrey Zlotnick has really enlightened me and has motivated me to keep coming back while never having a hand out asking for money/donations. This to me is a true sign of a space that is there for the people, by the people with practices that are authentic and not designed to be a money maker. I don't donate as much as I should being that I'm just starting my life over again from the wreckage of my past, but in the future I plan to donate and have a contribution drive for my birthday next month on FB. Such a great asset to the community and I'm forever grateful to have this place in my life because it has truly changed me and my overall perceptions of life and brought me to a place where I can be comfortable with spirituality and with myself. Peace be with you.
