Tozen Soshin (東漸宗震)

Tozen Soshin

1532 – 1602

Tōzen Sōshin (1532–1602) is recorded in the Myōshin-ji line documentation as a sixteenth-century Rinzai abbot in the Ōtōkan stream, in the Sengoku-period generations preceding Gudō Tōshoku's seventeenth-century revival of Myōshin-ji. The surviving record preserves his lineage placement; little distinctive doctrinal material from his teaching is preserved in the modern Rinzai-shū historiography^[1].
