Meeting point of the Sangha

Today, La Gendronnière Temple is the meeting point for the large sangha represented by the International Zen Association.

40 years of Zen Buddhism in Europe

This will be an opportunity for us to show our gratitude for the opening of this transmission which was given to us 40 years ago, at a time when each day began in the silence of the first light of dawn. It is not simply a matter of looking towards the past, but of shedding light on our future by following footsteps of the past, and trying to give new breath to this Dharma that we have received.This will also be an occasion for the different sanghas to reunite at La Gendronnière temple at this magnificent time of year when the flowers are in full bloom, and this blossoming will, I hope, cast its blessing on this commemoration.

Rev. Doko Triet, President of the Association Zen Internationale
