Zen School recommendation?

[Mr.SeanStewart]

Hello Dhamma lovers

I am wondering if any one here has a recommendation for a zen school in Japan?

Im trying to plan my future trips and i feel im interested to attend a zen school in japan, I was thinking of doing Soto zen, inspired by the book "zen mind begginers mind" but im open to all suggestions.

I also heard of a zen teacher in india called Father .... (something) who i m considering visiting.

any thoughts or suggestion is welcome, thanks again

I believe the sister site here would be of better assistance...

Three Zen teachers in Japan that I've heard good things about are Shodo Harada, Muho Roshi and Jeff Shore, but have no personal experience with any of them.

In true Zen fashion, I'm going to recommend sitting and figuring this one out yourself!

I suggest Soto Zen, founded by Master Dōgen Zenji.

The Shōbōgenzō may be a good (but challenging) text to start with.

Sean, if you're going to be in Japan, consider Taisho University.
