Rinsenji Temple offers morning and evening zazen sessions twice every week and is thus well-known as a permanent Zen gathering place in downtown Tokyo all over Japan as well as abroad.
With the demise of Eda R?shi, the Zazen sessions are held under the guidance of the present head priest Makito Eda who continuously encourages the members in their experience of the “spirit of Zen.”

The 21st century marks again a growing need of “spiritual values”. Wouldn’t you want to make time to find yourself? If you’d like to try Zazen, you are very welcome. The Rinsenji Zen Dojo is open to everybody.

Monday and Wednesday Zen sessions take place on holidays as well.
On Wednesday, the evening session can be joined after the “Kinhin” at 7:45 pm too.
No previous Zazen experience necessary.
No questions asked about age, nationality, denomination, race etc.
No Japanese language knowledge needed. Many members are from different countries.
Joining or leaving the Zazen group is possible anytime.
Clothing: subdued colors, comfortable easy-to-sit long pants and shirt, e.g. jogging wear etc.
