Soto Zen
"True Zen means sitting quietly in the right posture. Zen means setting the mind at rest, concentrating intuition and reasoning together. Zen is not some special state, it is our normal condition, silent, peaceful, awake, without agitation".
- Taisen Deshimaru 1914 - 1982
Soto Zen was founded in Japan by Dogen in the 13th century and brought to Europe by Taisen Deshimaru in 1967. Kodo Sawaki Roshi, from whom Master Deshimaru received transmission, endeavoured throughout his life to return Zen to its purest source, the practice of zazen.'
