40th Anniversary of Soto Zen in Europe
Symposium: Universality of Buddhism 8. –10. June

"It has already been 40 years since Taisen deshimaru assumed as his mission the teaching of zazen in Europe. Zen, as this monk taught it, is a vigorous Buddhist activity which brings eace and essentiel truth to all of humanity. From the outset, religion should include theis "universality", which ensures freedom and equality among humans.

Now that the practice of zazen has spread throughout Europe as the vital essence of Zen, and Zen is becoming a part of European culture. I would like to initiate a dialogue on the fundamental nature of Buddhism - a universal religion - and on its various aspects, and to participate in this way in the reception and the transmission of the Dharma to the future generations. "

Rév. Genshû Imamura, directeur du Centre européen du bouddhisme Sôtô zen
