Kobe Zen has now five members. Three of us are past 75, I am in my 60s, and one member is in his 30s. Anyone can sit anywhere, anytime. I would like to make this group something beyond what words can express. Come sit with us and have a deeper look into yourself. We look forward to seeing you!

He has been practicing Zen for 5 years and he states, "I am not anywhere close to the enlightenment stage of the Buddha, but that is how deep this journey is and there are so many things you can gain in the process of trying to reach to that level."

Kido Kaizen
Started Zen at the age of 40 when he was working for a synthetic fiber company. Now that he is 80, he realized that it was wrong to think that the longer one does Zazen, the better. It's as simple as just sit firmly and always live with earnest. That's it. The dojo where we have our retreat is near Nagata High School where he graduated and he felt a little bit of a destiny between him and Zen.
