Shasta Abbey emphasizes the "shikan-taza" ("serene reflection") meditation method of the Soto Zen school.

Shasta Abbey Press publishes Buddhist books, including the writings of its founder, Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett, and translations of Buddhist texts. Among these are works of Soto Zen patriarchs Dogen Kigen Zenji (Shōbōgenzō) and Keizan Jokin Zenji (Denkoroku). The Abbey belongs to the Order of Buddhist Contemplatives.
