Zen River Temple is an international Buddhist monastery on a beautiful property on the outskirts of Uithuizen, a small village on the northern edge of The Netherlands close to the Wadden Sea. It enjoys the spaciousness and tranquillity of the countryside and yet is easily accessible by public transport.

Zen River’s founders and head teachers are abbot Tenkei Coppens Roshi and Myoho Gabrysch Roshi, both qualified representatives of the America-based White Plum Lineage and the Japanese Soto School . They are assisted by several of Tenkei Roshi’s Dharma successors. Moreover, teachers of other Buddhist organizations are often invited to give lectures.

Zen River is officially registered in Japan as a Tokubetsu Jiin (international missionary temple) and plays an active role in the development of the European department of the Soto School . That means that there is a lively exchange between Zen River and other temples abroad. Due to its international orientation, classes are usually held in English. All meals are vegetarian.
