'Shasta Abbey' is a Zen Buddhist Monastery, established in 1970 in Mount Shasta, California, in the United States. It is a training monastery, and is open to visitors who want to learn about Buddhism.
Shasta Abbey emphasizes the shikan-taza meditation method of the Soto Zen school. In this method, one strives to pay attention to one's thoughts without getting drawn into any of them. Shasta Abbey Press publishes Buddhist books, including the writings of its founder, Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett, and translations of Buddhist texts. Among these are works of Soto Zen patriarchs Dogen Kigen Zenji (Shobogenzo) and Keizan Jokin Zenji (Denkoroku).
