Buddha Eye Zen Community Temple

Buddha Eye, established 2002, is a registered temple of the Soto Zen School, the second largest Buddhist denomination in Japan.  The school is a federation of temples, priests and lay people, from around the world, who maintain the lineage of teachings that pass through Eihei Dogen Zenji, a preeminent Zen Master of 13th century Japan.  Our abbot, Ejo McMullen, is a lineage holder in this tradition through his teacher Joshin Keira Roshi, former abbot of Shurinji Temple, Sendai, Japan. Ejo holds both Japanese and International Soto Teaching Certifications and serves as Secretary of the Board for the North American Bishop’s Office.  He served on the boards of the Soto Zen Buddhist Association and the Association of Soto Zen Buddhists for many years and remains a member of both organizations today.
