40 Years on Tremper Mountain

On the occasion of Zen Mountain Monastery's 40th anniversary, Abbot Shugen Arnold reflects on the journey and how far we've come from our humble beginnings in 1980. As this is only a brief snapshot of the whole story, rather than a retrospective, some of the very important people who were instrumental in the development of the Mountains and Rivers Order, Zen Mountain Monastery and the Zen Center of NYC do not appear in the film, or appear only briefly. In particular, we want to recognize and express our gratitude for the significant contributions of Bonnie Myotai Treace, Konrad Ryushin Marchaj and Vanessa Zuisei Goddard.
