About us

Three Mountains Zen

Welcome to Three Mountains Zen, an Atlanta lay Zen Buddhist community.

Our name was inspired by our location, nestled between three iconic granite rock outcroppings: Stone Mountain, Panola Mountain, and Arabia Mountain, which are beautifully depicted throughout our website. Our practice is rooted in three core tenets:

1. Zazen(sitting meditation): cultivating mindfulness and clarity;

2. Dharma(study): exploring Buddhist teachings, scholars, texts, and history;

3. Practice(application): integrating our learnings into everyday life, encompassing relationships, work, family, and beyond.

Our practice is structured around these core activities, allowing individuals to engage with the teachings in holistic and meaningful ways.

We dedicate our practice to benefit all beings.

We invite those seeking the Dharma to connect and practice with our community.
