Sanneji

SANNEJI, a Finnish zen centre, enables year-round zen practice under the guidance of a zen teacher.

We sit zazen and chant. During work periods we clean, prepare food or carry out some other task assigned to us.

In addition to four one-week sesshins (zen retreats) per year, we also organize shorter sesshins as well as Buddhist ceremonies and other events.

Visitors are welcome to partake in Sanneji’s daily programme.
