January sesshin will be held from Wednesday, January 13 to Sunday, January 18. From Wednesday to Thursday, after early morning zazen, we will return to our normal daily routines, such as going to work from the dojo and returning to the dojo in the evening for zazen and overnight stay, spending time intensively facing our selves.

We will be holding an intensive Zen retreat (An Introduction to Zazen) in November.

In principle, we hold a Zen Calligraphy group on the fourth Sunday of every month after our Zen Talks. Please feel free to join us.

Tesshu Zenkai Calligraphy Exhibition was held.

Why don't you and your child take a moment during your summer vacation to take a little peek into the world of Zen at a small, historic zazen meeting in a quiet residential area near Shinjuku?　Sometimes the experiences we have in our childhood become memories that last a lifetime. We have planned this event in the hope of providing such an irreplaceable opportunity. On the day of the event, you will experience a short zazen session, a Zen talk by the abbot, and Zen calligraphy. Women will be on hand to provide support.

Zazen meeting on Saturday, July 26 will be cancelled.
