Eiheiji - Inside Dogen's Zen Monastery

Eiheiji is a world-famous Zen monastery located in the mountains 200 kilometers northeast of Kyoto. As the temple's founder Dogen prescribed, the core practice is zazen: simply sitting to calm the mind and examine one's self. Most of the 150 monks are in their 20's. They live at the temple, devoting themselves to uninterrupted Zen practice. With unprecedented access inside this remarkable temple, where Dogen's teachings have been practiced unchanged for over 770 years, the program follows the monks' lives over the course of 6 months.
