Tassajara Slideshow

Because of the power of valley sounds and mountain colors, the Buddha with the great earth and sentient beings attains the way.

For a few days, step away from the busyness and pressures of your life, and find the rhythm of your own breath.

Feel the summer breeze, enjoy delicious food, and immerse yourself in the healing waters of the hot springs and the refreshing cool of Tassajara Creek.

We warmly invite you to come refresh and renew at Tassajara -- you can join a retreat, explore Zen practice, or just relax and let go of everything beyond the simple pleasures of the moment.

In 1967, Tassajara was established as the first Zen training monastery outside of Japan. Each year from May to September, Tassajara, or Zenshinji (Zen Heart-Mind Temple), as it is known formally, opens its gates to students and guests alike for the summer guest season.
