Tenyu Soen

Tenyu Soen was a Soto Zen master who served in the school's transmission lineage. He contributed to the maintenance of the Soto tradition's practices and the training of monks during his period of activity.

Soen's contribution to the Soto tradition lies in the faithful transmission of the practice. The school's remarkable continuity across many centuries depends on the accumulated dedication of teachers who preserve the essential quality of zazen practice and pass it forward.
