Hakubai Temple is in Boulder, Colorado, where we practice in the Zen Buddhist tradition as a “daughter” temple of Joko-ji Temple in Kamo City, Japan. We are associated with other temples in the lineage of Kobun Roshi.

Hakubai is dedicated to the practice of zazen, or sitting meditation. We have daily practice, cultural programs, sesshins, and other ceremonies such as baby blessing ceremonies, funerals, weddings, and ordinations. See schedule for our normal practice periods.

Our Abbot is Hakubai Zenji (Martin Mosko), a Zen priest ordained and trained in the Soto tradition. He has studied extensively for over 31 years, both in the United States and in Japan, with Hojosama Keibun Otokawa Roshi. He has been fully authorized to teach by Soto Headquarters in Japan and was installed as abbot of Hakubai in the Mountain Seat Ceremony in the spring of 2004.

The Temple grounds have won an award for their beauty and peacefulness. An important part of our practice during sesshin is to help to maintain this beautiful area.
