Soto Zen Buddhist Hermitage
Welcome to Keiryuji
Keiryuji (mountain stream temple) is a small Soto Zen Buddhist hermitage in the Spanish Pyrenees, near the village of Camprodon. Surrounded by the unspoiled beauty of the Alta Garrotxa Nature Reserve, it offers a place of silence, simplicity, and dedicated Zen practice.
Keiryuji welcomes those who sincerely wish to deepen their Zen practice and are willing to open themselves to the guidance of the teacher and the discipline of daily temple life. With only a few places available, the temple offers an intimate environment that supports focused, dedicated practice and personal guidance.
Together with a small community of residents, guests participate in a daily schedule of zazen, Buddhist services, study, and samu (working together), supported by the tranquillity of the mountains and a simple way of life. A place to pause, practise, and encounter the simplicity of Zen.

The temple is located in the mountains of the Alta Garrotxa Nature Reserve, near the village of Camprodon in the province of Girona, Catalonia.
The journey to Keiryuji gradually leaves behind the pace of everyday life, as the road climbs into the Pyrenees, the mountains, forests, and silence prepares the way for practice.
