From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

New York Zendo Shobo-Ji (or, Temple of True Dharma) is a Rinzai Zen Center located in the upper East Side of Manhattan, NY founded on September 15, 1968 by Soen Nakagawa Roshi. The building had been converted from a 3 story home, and the ground floor level is where the Zendo (meditation hall) and a smaller adjacent Zendo rests. The head abbot of Shobo-Ji is currently Eido Tai Shimano Roshi, who received dharma transmission from Soen Nakagawa Roshi in 1972.
