We are led by our two teachers Eileen Kiera and Jack Duffy Mountain Lamp is a rural practice center in the Pacific Northwest dedicated to cultivating the ground already tilled by Thich Nhat Hanh and Robert Aitken in the mindfulness and Zen traditions. The lay practice center provides a daily schedule of sitting, walking, and work meditation for residents and guests. The resident teachers, Eileen
Kiera and Jack Duffy, carry on the teachings of their primary teachers Thich Nhat Hanh and Robert Aitken Roshi. Throughout the year they lead Zen and mindfulness retreats, as well as retreats that reflect a blend of the two traditions. . In the spring, Mountain Lamp offers a three-week study and meditation retreat to deepen our understanding and knowledge of Buddhist tradition and teachings. Mountain Lampโs 115 acres of hilled forest, pasture, and lake are home to bear, bobcat, coyote, and elk along with a variety of songbirds, waterfowl, and raptors. The practice center is dedicated to being a home to those beings who have traditionally lived here and to lay practitioners of the Dharma for generations to come.
