Kanzeonji

Kanzeonji Kanzeonji is a small private temple founded by Rev. Zenko Ryugen Watanabe Roshi. At Kanzeonji we call our way Butsu-do (the Way the Awakened).

Though they set up the temple and practiced for a few years before, Soyu Matsuoka Roshi performed the dedication ceremony Sept. 29th 1985. Our lineage is decendant from Soto Zen in Japan. Hence our main practice is Shikantaza (Just Precisely Sitting) and living 'reality as it is'. We also employ a variety of moving meditations as bridges to conjoin or sitting practice and our daily lives.
