History
Zenjoni preserves the austere disciplines of Zen meditation practice. In its quiet halls, monks continue their centuries-old pursuit of enlightenment through zazen and contemplative practice. Pilgrims who enter find profound tranquility, as the temple's concentrated spiritual energy dissolves worldly concerns and leads to the boundless peace of the unconditioned mind.
