Re: Zen in Brasil

Many of my Brazilian wife's friends are of Japanese descent and when we were living in Japan many of these 'nisei' or second generation Japanese were living nearby.
Brazil has the largest Japanese population outside Japan and a large Soto presence.

Here's some reading;

Hope this is a start.
Just out of curiosity...why are you interested Peter?

Re: Zen in Brasil

Thanks Nigel,
looks like a very good start; I got in touch with someone from Brasil
and he was if I had any info on Zen in Brasil, so I kind of forwarded
his question.
