Gyakushitsu Sojun

Gyakushitsu Sojun was a Soto Zen master who served in the school's transmission lineage. He maintained the tradition's practices and contributed to the Soto school's continuity during his period of activity.

Sojun's contribution to the Soto tradition lies in the faithful maintenance of the transmission chain. The school values this continuity not as an end in itself but as the guarantee that the living quality of Dogen's original awakening continues to be accessible to new generations of practitioners.
