|
In February of 1993, volunteers who were former delegates
founded SZI (Soto Zen International) with the consent of the two head
monasteries, Eiheiji and Sojiji, as well as the Administration Headquarters, Sotoshu-Shumucho.
The group is composed of SZI members and volunteer staff members to promote international exchange, as well as the overseas missionary work of Soto Zen Buddhism.
The activities of SZI are supported by donations and membership fees from temples and SZI members who believe in and practice mutual support.
