Presentation of the Zen Buddhism Center

The Strasbourg Zen Buddhism Center has existed since 1970. It was founded by Master Deshimaru (1914–1982), who introduced and developed the practice of Zen Buddhism in Europe. The spiritual direction is provided by one of his former disciples, Olivier Reigen Wang-Genh, who received the Dharma transmission from the Japanese master Dosho Saïkawa.

Master Olivier Wang-Genh is the abbot of RyumonJi Temple, a Buddhist monastery and retreat center located in Weiterswiller, 50 km from Strasbourg. He was President of the French Buddhist Union for many years and is currently the President of the A.Z.I. (International Zen Association).

TEACHINGS

Master Wang-Genh is present at the dojo every Tuesday morning and Wednesday evening. Every other Wednesday, he gives a teaching (teisho), which is announced through the newsletter.

His teachings are also available as videos on our YouTube channel and as podcasts.
