Jiko Linda Ruth Cutts (b. 1947) is a Sōtō Zen priest practicing in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki, a Senior Dharma Teacher at the San Francisco Zen Center. Cutts is a Dharma heir of Tenshin Reb Anderson, having received Dharma transmission from him in 1996.[1] She served as co-abbess of the San Francisco Zen Center from 2000 to 2007,[2] and had first begun practice at the San Francisco Zen Center in 1971;[3] later, she was ordained a priest by Zentatsu Richard Baker in 1975. Currently living at Green Gulch Farm Zen Center, as abbess she had been aware of the significance in being a woman in a leadership position in religion that has historically been a Patriarchy. In this vein, within her first year as abbess she instituted the ceremony in which female ancestors could be honored.[1]
