Dogen
Sangha is a Buddhist group
based in Tokyo. We follow the teachings of Master Dogen,
a 13th century Japanese monk, and offer the
opportunity to practice Zazen and study Buddhism based
on the guidance of our founder Gudo
Wafu Nishijima. @
We hold meetings
on Saturdays at the Young Buddhists Association in
Tokyo.
Gudo Nishijima roshi retired from
lecturing in 2005. He now devotes his time to his
writing, and publishes a blog about Buddhism at http://gudoblog-e.blogspot.com/.
He also made a short video demonstration about how to practice zazen.
To celebrate his 90th birthday, Nishijima-roshi gave a
talk on November 28, 2009 about his life and zen practice.
Dogen Sangha Tokyo presented him with birthday gifts and
greetings, and then we had a celebratory dinner of
delicious Indian food.
