History
A Zen temple preserving silence in the mountains of Tatsuhigashi, Shozemji has long served as a training ground for seekers of enlightenment. Deep in these hills, practitioners continue their rigorous discipline, pursuing the state of no-mind. It shapes the hearts of all who seek the Buddha's way.
