New publication: "Universality of Buddhism"
The International Zen Association was founded by Master Deshimaru in the 1970s. He put all his faith and energy into it, transmitting the Buddha-Way and Zen practice to the West. By founding the Gendronnière temple in 1979, he has given us an unmatched gift and tool whereby we can practice the Buddha-Dharma and spread it in a world that needs it more and more. The commitment to take care of what we have received and to pass it on to future generations so that peace and compassion become a reality, is nothing less than actualising the bodhisattva vows.
