![Photographs in this collection have been produced by Alison Lowrie, Heather Do, Liz Dolinar, and Adriana Haro at request of Michael Ashley for the UC Berkeley Anthropology 136e class, Spring 2011. The purpose was to digitally document the cultural heritage of Green Gulch Zen Center with the objective of gaining better insight into the Zen Center's cultural history through the use of photographic technology. Green Gulch Farm Zen Center (Latitude 37.86657, Longitude -122.56528), also known as the Green Dragon Temple, is located in Marin County, CA, in an idyllic valley overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Green Gulch is located on 115 acres within a large region of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, approximately 10 miles north of San Francisco. Green Gulch is one of three locations constituting the San Francisco Zen Center, founded by Shunryu Suzuki Roshi[1]. In 1972, Green Gulch was purchased from George Wheelwright, co-founder of Polaroid, as a part of SuzukiÕs vision to establish a farm near San Francisco where a community of Zen Buddhist practitioners could live and together practice their faith[2][3]. Green Gulch now serves as a Buddhist center in the Japanese Soto Zen tradition, focused on awakening the Bodhisattva spirit of kindness and realistic helpfulness within the people residing, working, and visiting the center[1]. Green Gulch is comprised of a temple (called the Zendo), organic farm and garden, guesthouse, and conference center. The center offers training and practice in Zen mediation through workshops, retreats, and apprenticeships emphasizing meditation practice, Buddhist teachings, and organic gardening and farming methods[4]. Photographs in this collection were captured on Sunday April 24, 2011, between 11:30 AM and 2:15 PM Pacific Time, under sunny conditions. Nixon D80 and two-Canon XSI cameras were used. A tripod was used for HDR shots. The photos were post-processed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 3.
