Senshu Donko

Senshu Donko was a Soto Zen master who contributed to the tradition's continuity in Japan. He maintained the school's contemplative practices and institutional structures, serving as a teacher within the Soto framework.

Donko's place in the Soto lineage represents the steady, patient work of transmission that sustains the tradition. The school values this continuity not merely as institutional preservation but as the ongoing expression of Dogen's living insight, passed from teacher to student across the centuries.
