Brief History

"In 1967 the first Soto Zen monastery outside of Asia was established at Tassajara by Shunryu Suzuki and the San Francisco Zen Center, to provide a place where students of Buddhism could withdraw from the busy world for a period of intensive meditation and study. During the summer, guests are welcome to come and enjoy the beauty unique to this secluded valley. This Center is a nonprofit organization and link to Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, SFZC."
