Connect
[Something about our community. Welcoming and inclusive. Make spiritual seekers, atheists, and formerly religious people feel welcome. Inspiration: "Don't say that, Ananda. Don't say that. Admirable friendship, admirable companionship, admirable camaraderie is actually the whole of the holy life. When a monk has admirable people as friends, companions, and comrades, he can be expected to develop and pursue the Noble Eightfold Path."]

[Short welcome message introducing DDMC]
- - who we are
- - what we do
- - what sets us apart
This section can also be used as a Value Proposition Section (which should always appear immediately below the Hero). If the content on the right is not needed for the value proposition, we can swap it out for a carefully selected image. Some ideas: list practices unique to DDM (direct contemplation, somatic practices like slow prostrations, etc), Spiritual Environmentalism, etc)
Learn more[Something about how our form of Chan is adaptable and relevant to modern life (to address concerns that Zen/Chan/Buddhism is too conservative, traditional, or not practical). Inspiration: "Chinese Chan Buddhism is by nature inclusive and adaptive to the changing needs of people and society...universally relevant to our pluralistic modern society, cultures, and religious identities...]"
[Something to signal tradition and authenticity. Caodong and Linji lineages. Why mention Early Buddhism? We offer Zen deeply rooted in Agamas -- not common and a major selling point to those looking for authenticity. Inspiration: "The Chan teaching of Dharma Drum Mountain is a blend of the Āgamas with the special teachings of traditional Chinese Chan, while accommodating the needs of modern times and environments. In this sense, the basic attitude of our tradition is open to changes, but in terms of concept and methods our foundation is squarely centered on traditional Chinese Chan."]
[Practical tools meant to be used in the real world, not just on a mountain. Not an escape from your problems but tools to face, embrace, and deal with, and let go of your problems.]
[mention diversity, breadth, and depth of what we have to offer]
