Sokeizan Daiyuzenji is a Rinzai Zen Buddhist temple that shares Shinjinkai's Chicago headquarters space. Daiyuzenji and Shinjinkai are dedicated together to providing a place where all persons may experience a deep, unified training in budo (martial arts) and Zen.
Ongoing formal zazen (meditation) and okyo (chanting) practice is conducted seven days a week, and open to the public. An open introduction for beginners is offered every Saturday morning, 10 - 11:00 am, which includes instruction in meditation. Three times yearly, Daiyuzenji conducts intensive Zen retreats (sesshin).
