CHOZEN-JI: A ZEN TEMPLE LIKE NO OTHER
Daihonzan Chozen-ji was founded in 1972 and is the only Rinzai Zen daihonzan (headquarters temple) outside of Japan. Chozen-ji's unique contribution is our integration of Zen, the martial arts, and fine arts—a rigorous blend that has produced generations of leaders who are able to stay calm and clear under intense pressure. Embedded in the culture of Hawaii, Chozen-ji's training method continues to create leaders dedicated to making Hawaii and the world a better place.
