From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Zen Studies Society was established in 1956 by Cornelius Crane to help assist the scholar Daisetz Teitaro Suzuki in his work and to help promulgate Zen Buddhism to Western countries. It is housed on East 67th Street in a three storey building and today serves as a Zen practice and training center. The institution came under the leadership of Eido Tai Shimano in 1965 and now maintains both New York Zendo Shobo-Ji and Dai Bosatsu Zendo Kongo-Ji. In the past allegations of sexual impropriety have surfaced regarding Shimano, which caused some members to depart from the community.[1][2]
