Welcome to Hokyoji!
Hokyoji Zen Practice
Community offers opportunities
to develop and deepen a steadfast practice of the Buddha's path in
the Soto Zen tradition. We provide both residential and non-residential
practice in the form of practice periods, sesshins and individual practice. Click here for a schedule of our offerings.
Our resident teacher is Rev. Dokai Georgesen, who received dharma transmission from our founder, Dainin Katagiri Roshi. Hokyoji also plays host to dharma teachers from around the Midwest and beyond, who bring
their own sanghas here for sesshins and retreats or serve as guest teachers for events like the annual Great Sky Sesshin.
Set among forested hills in rural Minnesota on land selected by Katagiri
Roshi and originally developed by the sangha of Minnesota Zen Meditation Center,
Hokyoji connects our practice with the land. The hills and the rustic buildings provide a sense of peace and a deep
quiet that washes the spirit and strengthens our mindfulness. Please come enjoy the land and sink into the Buddha's
practice with us.
