About Anzenkai

Anzenkai is an open and religiously independent network of friends founded 2009. The network grew out of ten years of dialogue between Swedish priest Gustav Ericsson and Japanese Zen master Gudo Nishijima Roshi, with the purpose of supporting daily zazen practice.

Anzenkai is not based on any particular religious creed. Some of us are Christians, some are Buddhists, and some belong to other traditions or none at all. We all practice zazen together as friends, enriched by our diversity.

Welcome to Anzenkai!
