Hokyoji Zen Practice Community offers opportunities to develop and deepen a steadfast practice of the Buddha's path in the Soto Zen tradition.  We provide both residential and non-residential practice in the form of practice periods, sesshins and individual practice.

Our resident teacher is Rev. Dokai Georgesen, who received dharma transmission from our founder, Dainin Katagiri Roshi.  Hokyoji also plays host to dharma teachers from around the Midwest and beyond, who bring their own sanghas here for sesshins and retreats or serve as guest teachers for events like the annual Great Sky Sesshin.

Set among forested hills in rural Minnesota on land selected by Katagiri Roshi and originally developed by the sangha of Minnesota Zen Meditation Center, Hokyoji connects our practice with the land.  The hills and the rustic buildings provide a sense of peace and a deep quiet that washes the spirit and strengthens our mindfulness.  Please come enjoy the land and sink into the Buddha's practice with us.
