Sit | Study | Share
Silent Thunder Order (STO) is the network of Zen centers continuing the lineage of our Soyu Matsuoka Roshi, one of the pioneers of Soto Zen in North America. STO supports affiliated centers in their efforts to continue and share the practice of Zen Buddhism. By participating with any STO affiliate, you gain not only a local Zen community but also connection to our broad network of Zen practitioners and teachers. Together we sit Zazen (meditation), study Zen teachings, and share the life-changing legacy of Soto Zen Buddhism.
