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.

Tesshuu Reissue No. 76 is now available.

Zazen meeting on Saturday, July 26 will be cancelled.

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.
