Chozen-ji's 50th Anniversary Newsletter for Winter 2022
2022 will mark Chozen-ji's 50th anniversary since it was founded in 1972. In this special edition of our newsletter, you will find a Letter From The Abbot that reminds us of the foundations of Chozen-ji's training method: zazen, sesshin, and Hojo. For many Chozen-ji students, whether you're new to the Dojo or have been training for decades, this Letter From The Abbot will connect many of the dots of Zen training and help clarify just what is so unique and powerful about Chozen-ji's physical approach to Zen.
Gary Omori Roshi also reflects in a special note on the sincerity and sacrifice it took to establish Chozen-ji, what it was like in the early days at the Dojo, and how Chozen-ji is living up to Tanouye Roshi's vision for it today, including by continuing to hold vigorous sesshins and through our contributions to the community.
