Tanaduk Garden Day

Last Saturday of the Month

Pure Land Farms was named after Tanaduk, the Pure Land of the Medicine Buddha — a botanical garden filled with medicinal plants where healing of Body, Speech, and Mind occurs naturally. Our center’s educational gardens are designed according to the geometric principles of Medicine Buddha’s Pure Land as described in Tibet’s traditional medical texts, the Gyudzhi with the aim of promoting healing, harmony, and meditative awareness for all who visit.

We are happy to invite our local sangha to participate in the development of this healing garden by volunteering in the garden on the last Saturday of every month. Projects will vary from month to month and will be guided by our garden experts.

Lunch will not be provided, please bring a picnic or plan ahead.
