Temple Ground Press is dedicated to publishing the teachings of Soto Zen Buddhism and texts inspired by Soto Zen practice.



What We Do

Our specialty is promoting the teachings of Dharma Transmitted women priests in the Soto Zen tradition. We believe that women need to be encouraged to publish so that their teachings on Soto Zen will be available now and for the people of future generations.

Writing the Dharma
. . . is a blog and newsletter with occasional announce-ments, to offer writing encouragement to Zen practitioners to express the Dharma through the written word. It seeks to help those in Zen practice to find confi- dence and connections for their writing and to make writing Dharma a part of daily life, teaching, spiritual practice and expression.
