Pilgrims chant mantra for Shinzan Roshi.

Daizan Roshi introduces a mantra to honour our late teacher Shinzan Roshi and records him and the group in Japan chanting it with taiko drum. This recording was sent to our group of pilgrims currently walking the Thames River Path from source to London, walking in remembrance of Shinzan Roshi. Today, 31st May 2026, they’re on day 5 of 11.

On 27th May 2026, we marked the fifth anniversary of Shinzan Roshi’s death. Two commemorative events took place in UK and Japan with practitioners of the Sangha.

A group of practitioners gathered on Mount Iwataki, Japan, a place deeply loved by Shinzan Roshi and one where he often went to practice. There, Daizan Roshi and Shinkai Roshi led a day of practice in his memory.

And on the other side of the world, the group in Japan with Daizan and Shinkai Roshis are marking Shinzan Roshi’s 5th anniversary with a day of practice on Mount Iwataki - a favourite spot of Shinzan’s and the mountain that the great master Hakuin spent a year of retreat on.

Daizan and Shinkai Roshis visited our friend Laurence Jiko Barrow at Bukkoku-ji in Japan and were treated to a ceremonial chakai (tea ceremony). Shinkai was a monk here himself for a few years a decade or so ago.

We’re looking forward to seeing more of Jiko when he’s back in England over the summer.

Join us for a memorial ceremony in honour of our late teacher Shinzan Roshi, who died 5 years ago. This June we are celebrating his life and teaching with a series of free events, each one a doorway to meet the essence of a teacher who was fearless, generous and awake.

In Zen, the memorial of a teacher is not only a remembrance. It is an encounter. Within the ceremony there will be a period of silent sanzen, a simple opportunity to meet the master directly, beyond life, beyond death. Please come and join us in this encounter!

We invite everybody attending in person to bring a vegetarian dish to share for a bring and share supper after the ceremony.

📅 7th June, 7pm
😊 Join in-person or online

The zoom link for online participation to all events can be found on our memorial website www.notonenottwo.com
