A Buddhist monastery founded by Dogen, offering calligraphy and Ikebana workshops as well as Japanese language courses.

In the heart of the Périgord-Limousin region, Kanshoji is much more than a Buddhist monastery: it's a place to recharge your batteries and discover Soto Zen. Under the guidance of Taiun Jean-Pierre Faure, a disciple of Master Deshimaru, you can experience meditation, share in the daily life of the monks or immerse yourself in a retreat. In addition, the site offers a variety of workshops - calligraphy, Ikebana, Japanese language courses - for a broader approach to Zen culture.

Monastère et cadre très agréables, avec des enseignements profonds. Parfait pour la pratique. J’ai également été agréablement surpris de l’accompagnement fait auprès des nouveaux venus (que j’étais), et ce, même durant une sesshin intensive. Sangha bienveillante.
