Ruben L.F. Habito (1947 - present) was born in the Philippines and is a former Jesuit priest turned Zen Buddhist master practicing in the Sanbo Kyodan lineage of Zen. In his early youth he was sent to Japan on missionary work where he began Zen practice under Yamada Koun-roshi, a Zen roshi with a very open mind (he allowed many Christians to sit zazen with him at his temple). In 1988, Ruben received Dharma transmission from Yamada Koun. Ruben left the Jesuit order in 1989, and in 1991 founded the lay organization Maria Kannon Zen Center in Dallas, TX.
