Master Kosen Thibaut

A direct disciple of Taisen Deshimaru, Master Kosen (1950–2025) transmitted soto zen teaching with rigour and freedom, faithful to the posture of zazen until his last day.

Josy Thibaut, founder of the dojo

Zen nun and MLF activist, Josy Thibaut (1925–2017) founded Zen Paris dojo in the late 1990s. A signatory of the Manifeste des 343, she practised zazen without pause until nearly 90 years of age.
