Venerable Hakuyu Taizan Maezumi Roshi, who had a significant influence on the growth of Zen Buddhism in the United States, was ordained as a Soto Zen monk at the age of eleven. He received degrees in oriental literature and philosophy from Komazawa University and studied at Sojiji, one of the two most important Soto monasteries in Japan.

Zen has also taken root in Europe since 1967. The Soto School has portrayed the most important European temples in a short video.

In the last century, the seeds were sown for Zen in the West. The Soto School has portrayed the events in a video. Taizan Maezumi Roshi, one of these protagonists, is the "grandfather" of our Zen lineage in Germany.
