Zenshuji Soto Mission was founded in 1922 by Rev. Hosen Isobe on a second story flat to serve the growing Japanese American community of the Los Angeles Basin. Over the intervening years interest in Zen Buddhism, and Soto Zen in particular, has blossomed.
Open to all, we are dedicated to bringing the teachings of The Buddha as illuminated by the wisdom of Dogen Zenji to America. A family orientated practice Temple, Zenshuji is located in the busy heart of Los Angeles in the Little Tokyo/Artist district. We offer Zen Practice for the Lay practitioner in a uniquely Japanese style setting. Please join our practice; an oasis of calm in the midst of the fast pace of dense urban living.
