Pioneer Valley Zendo

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pioneer Valley Zendo is a Soto Zen zendo established in 1976 in Charlemont, MA as a sister-temple to Antai-ji in Japan, where Kosho Uchiyama was roshi. Koshi Ichida, Eishin Ikeda and Shohaku Okumura were the zendo's original founders, and the place was run by Reverend Issho Fujita (1954 - present) from 1987 until 2005. Eishin Ikeda, who had later been leading the Bean Town Sangha in Boston, returned as the present resident priest in 2006.
