- This article is about the monastery. For the geological structure, see Tassajara Formation.
Tassajara Zen Mountain Center, or Zenshinji was established in 1966 by Shunryu Suzuki in the Ventana Wilderness area of California's Los Padres National Forest, east of Big Sur, as the first Soto Zen Buddhist monastery in the United States.
Tassajara is part of the San Francisco Zen Center, which also includes Beginner's Mind Temple (City Center) in San Francisco, and Green Gulch Farm (Green Dragon Temple) in Muir Beach, Marin County, northwest of the city.
Tassjara is known for the rigor of its practice and the maturity of its students and teaching staff. It is highly respected within the American Zen community, in Japan, and internationally. Many of its students are Zen teachers from Zen centers in other countries.
The Tassajara Zen Mountain Center is open to the public each year from April to September.
