Anna Maria Shinnyo Marradi and officially recognised&nbsp;by Rev. Ry\u016bshin Azuma R\u014dshi, the 72nd Abbot of Daij\u014dji Monastery in Kanazawa in Japan as \u201cShinnyoji Daij\u014dji Italy Betsuin\u201d which in English means, \u201cTemple of Truth,&nbsp;<em>as it is<\/em>, Italian Branch of Daij\u014dji Monastery\u201d. The Temple is in association with the Italian Buddhist Union and the S\u014dt\u014d-sh\u016b Sh\u016bm\u016bch\u014d in Japan. It is also affiliated to Sokanbu Europe Office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Shinnyoji we practice S\u014dt\u014d Zen sitting meditation (zazen) and walking meditation (kin-hin) as well as S\u016btra chanting. We hold retreats several times a year where we take our meals formally (\u014dryoki) and practise samu (work). Throughout the year we conduct traditional S\u014dt\u014d Zen Ceremonies such as Ordination Ceremonies and the&nbsp;<em>Sankie butsu<\/em>, the three most salient events in the Buddha&#8217;s life: birth,&nbsp;<em>G\u014dtan-e<\/em>; enlightenment,&nbsp;<em>J\u014dd\u014d-e<\/em>; and entry into the Parinirv\u0101\u1e47a,&nbsp;<em>Nehan-e<\/em>. We also offer beginners\u2019 Zen courses and calligraphy courses. We have a library of books on Buddhism in various languages as well as a garden and a Tea House which is open to everyone. Our trimestral Sangha magazine,&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zenfirenze.it\/en\/ekizen-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>EkiZen<\/em><\/a>, has been running since 2009 and is published in both Italian and English.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Shinnyoji, the Temple is always open to anyone regardless of orientation or belief and for any level of commitment. Anyone may meditate on the scheduled days and times of practice: a zafu \u2013 cushion for meditation \u2013 is always available for whomever, at any moment of their life, decides to sit in Zazen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For more information, please visit our&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.zenfirenze.it\/en\/home-english\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer
