Mosteiro Zen Morro da Vargem

Mosteiro Zen Morro da Vargem, Buddhist temple in Ibiraçu, Brazil.

Mosteiro Zen Morro da Vargem is a Buddhist temple in Ibiraçu that spreads across a large estate. Much of the land is devoted to protecting and replanting the Atlantic Forest.

The temple was founded in 1974 by monk Ryotan Tokuda and became the first Zen Buddhist center in Latin America. It follows the traditions of the Soto Zen school.

The monastery hosts an art studio where creative people can work and stay away from city life. The place offers a space for artists who look for inspiration in natural surroundings.

The temple sits along the BR-101 North Highway and welcomes visitors on a quiet, natural grounds. Plan your visit for early morning or afternoon hours to experience the most peaceful atmosphere.

The grounds hold many retreats each year where visitors combine Buddhist practice with environmental protection activities. This blend of spiritual training and nature conservation makes the place special for people who care about both.
