The Katagiri Project

Picture

​Dainin Katagiri (1928–1990) was one of the prominent Soto Zen masters who brought Buddhism to America in the twentieth century. After teaching at San Francisco Zen Center and Tassajara Zen Mountain Center as assistant to Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, he founded and taught at Minnesota Zen Meditation Center in Minneapolis, and Hokyoji Zen Practice Community in rural Eitzen, Minnesota. Katagiri Roshi is remembered with appreciation for his deep practice, wise teaching, and warm heart. 

On this website you’ll find about 300 audio recordings of Katagiri Roshi’s talks, a collection of photographs and videos, a biography and lineage chart, and a blog written by archivist Andrea Martin. There are also links to his books and to the important work of his wife, Tomoe Katagiri.

The Katagiri Project is supported by donations and by royalties earned from sales of Katagiri Roshi’s books. Our team is currently digitizing the complete collection of 1200 talks. If you’d like to donate to our work, there’s a link below. On the donation page, please note in the memo section that you are giving to the Katagiri Project. 

If you have questions, comments, memories, or stories to share, we’d love to hear from you. You can reach us using the contact form below.
