About the Center
Bodhi Path Natural Bridge Retreat Center opened its doors in 1997 to teach Buddhist philosophy and meditation to all who are interested. Located in Rockbridge County between Natural Bridge and Lexington, the center is less than one hour north of Roanoke. It occupies 45 acres of hilly forested land, nestled in the valley between the Blue Ridge and Alleghany Mountains.
The Center is located in the Shenandoah Valley because of the tranquil nature and beauty of the area as well as its accessibility to transportation, cultural institutions, and population centers. The center now offers a program of Buddhist education ranging from information for the curious to instruction and support for the advanced meditator. It is also home to three sacred sites including a stupa of enlightenment.
Our center’s resident teacher is Dharma Teacher Tsony.
