Training at Chozen-ji Betsuin/International Zen Dojo of Wisconsin is supervised by Kenneth Setsuzan Kushner, a Zen Master and Renshi (training master) in Kyudo. The Chozen-ji tradition of training follows the philosophy that the practice of zazen (seated Zen meditation) and training in the Zen martial and fine arts are complimentary processes. All students must practice zazen and are encouraged to train in at least one of the martial or fine arts. While instruction in Kyudo is available at Chozen-ji Betsuin/International Zen Dojo of Wisconsin, individuals studying other martial arts are welcome to participate in all aspects of the training program, which include zazen, koan study, calligraphy, chanting, and work. Prospective students should contact us to arrange an introductory interview.
