Dai Bai Zan Cho Bo Ji Zen Temple
Nestled in the calm area of North Beacon Hill in Seattle, Washington, Dai Bai Zan Cho Bo Ji Zen Temple is a beautiful Buddhist temple and a special place for people who follow Buddhism. It was started in 1983 by Genki Takabayashi. The temple hosts various events, such as talks about Buddhist teachings every two months and weekly sessions to introduce people to Zen, which attracts many participants.
Genki Roshi, the Senior Priest, was invited by the Seattle Zen Center in the fall of 1977. Dr. Glenn Webb, a professor at the University of Washington, created the center. Genki Roshi agreed, and in early 1984, he established Cho Bo Zen Ji. The temple had its opening ceremony on October 1, 1984.
After training in Japan at one of the two main Rinzai school temples, Genki Takabayashi founded the temple based on the ideas of Rinzai Buddhism. Besides being a place for worship, Dai Bai Zan Cho Bo Ji Zen Temple is also a place to learn and practice Zen meditation.
Dai Bai Zan Cho Bo Ji Zen Temple is open to everyone, and they welcome all with open arms. No matter where you are on your spiritual path, they will work with you to help you understand and use the Seven Practice Modalities, follow their guidelines, and engage in the more challenging aspects of Rinzai Zen practice.
