For him who forgets the words in silence, reality comes clearly to light. He who attains quiet awakening belongs to our tradition.
Quiet awakening climbs right up to the highest peak and down to the lowest depth.

When the autumn wind grows cooler, day by day,
the voices of the cicadas grow rarer, fainter.

We are pleased to announce that this year we are celebrating 50 years of Muijoji Zen Dojo Zurich. It was founded in 1975 by Master Mokudô Taisen Deshimaru, who gave it the name Muijo – ‘Castle of Non-Fear’. All zazen days, sesshins and activities are dedicated to this anniversary. A special weekend is planned for 14th – 15th June.

‘Practising zazen in our confused world means to return to the true dimension of man and rediscover the fundamental balance of his existence.’

The rapid stream does not carry away the moon.

The cosmic order is always there.
