The Setting: Bodhi Manda Zen Center

Set in the beautiful Jemez Mountains of New Mexico, the Bodhi Manda Zen Center was founded 1973 and so is celebrating its fiftieth anniversary this year. In a place of incredible natural beauty and historical significance, The Bodhi has welcomed gay and bisexual men, among many other minorities, to use its facilities for decades.
