The San Francisco Zen Center was established in 1962 by the late Shunryu Suzuki-roshi, a direct spiritual descendent of the13th-century Zen Master, Dogen Zenji. By 1972, Zen Center had established three thriving practice sites, including Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, the first Zen training monastery in the West. Today, Zen Center is one of the largest Buddhist organizations outside of Asia, home to a diverse and growing community of priests, lay people, teachers and students.
