Welcome to the monastery. Our poems come from each of the twelve monks who guard and keep the monastery. The monks have renounced their names for that of Roku-Zan, and personality number. Wisdom and poetry coexist in the hands of the monks. Different in approach, yet harmonious in nature. Come share in the light the monastery provides, for it is a vast array of wisdom and knowledge remembered and forgotten. The credit for each entry shall be given to the monk responsible at the beginning of each entry. We sincerely hope you enjoy. We bow in gratitude and gratefulness.
