MEIDO MOORE (1968) is the abbot of Korinji Rinzai Zen monastery near Madison, Wisconsin, and guiding teacher of the Korinji Rinzai Zen Community.

Meido Roshi grew up in New Jersey, attending Rutgers University and the Antioch Buddhist studies program in Bodh Gaya, India. He began Zen training in 1988, and after graduating with a degree in religious studies practiced under three Rinzai Zen teachers in the line of the great master Omori Sogen Roshi*: the late Tenzan Toyoda Rokoji**** (dharma heir of Tenshin Tanouye Roshi of Chozen-ji) in whose training hall he resided for seven years while also enduring a severe training in traditional martial arts; Dogen Hosokawa Roshi** (former abbot of Chozen-ji and the primary dharma heir of Omori Roshi) with whom he trained for fifteen years; and David So'zan Miller Roshi*** (Hosokawa Roshi's heir and abbot of Daiyuzeni in Chicago) with whom he trained for three years. He has completed the koan curriculum of this lineage, and in 2008 received inka shomei or "mind seal": recognition as a lineage holder able to transmit the full range of Rinzai Zen practices. He is one of few Westerners so certified.

Aside from Zen, Meido Roshi is also ordained in the Mt. Koshikidake tradition of Shugendo. Before his ordination he was for many years a professional martial art teacher.

Meido Roshi is the author of The Rinzai Zen Way: A Guide to Practice (Shambhala Publications, 2018) and Hidden Zen: Practices for Sudden Awakening and Embodied Realization (Shambhala Publications, 2020).

https://www.shinjinkai.org/bio-meido

Meido Moore Sensei began Aikido training in 1986 at the age of 18. In 1990 he was invited by the Aikido and Zen master Tenzan Toyoda Sensei to Chicago, where he began the first of six years residence as uchideshi (live-in apprentice) under that teacher. In 1991 he was appointed Chief Instructor of the original Shinjinkan Dojo. 

Mr. Moore went on to serve as General Manager and later Director of Toyoda Sensei's organizations, the Aikido Association of America and Aikido Association International, and served for 10 years as Toyoda Sensei's otomo (personal attendant). He was certified Fukushidoin (assistant Aikido instructor) in 1991, Shidoin (full Aikido instructor) in 1996, and Shihandai ("representative of the master", the highest instructional title awarded by Toyoda Sensei) in 1997.  He served as dojo-cho (manager) of the Ryoshinkan, Toyoda Sensei's international headquarters dojo; and in 1999 Toyoda Sensei designated Moore and another uchideshi (Mr. Marc Pandolfi) as his two successors, with responsibility for carrying and transmitting his teachings. To fulfill that responsibility, Moore Sensei founded Shinjinkai in 2002.

Moore Sensei has instructed several hundred seminars, retreats, and training camps at Aikido schools, universities (Northwestern University, University of Chicago, DePaul University, Notre Dame), corporations (Motorola), fitness and community centers, and other venues throughout the United States and in Canada, Japan, England, Germany, Poland, Norway, Sweden, Latvia, Greece, Croatia, Bulgaria and Trinidad. In both private and agency-sponsored trainings he has additionally instructed federal, state and local law-enforcement officers in the United States, as well as military, government security, intelligence and anti-terrorist units internationally. He has served professionally as a law enforcement officer for the state of Illinois. His specific self-defense instruction for women was featured on several episodes of the Emmy award-winning NBC television series Starting Over. Moore Sensei holds the rank of rokudan (6th degree) in Aikido, and was additionally certified as an Aikido teacher (Shidoin) by T.K. Chiba Shihan in 2006. He has also been a student of several classical traditions of Japanese bujutsu.

In 2003 Moore Sensei was ordained in the Zen Buddhist tradition. A Rinzai Zen lineage holder, he today serves as abbot of Korinji, a rural monastery near Madison, WI, and as guiding teacher of the Madison Rinzai Zen Community. He continues his personal martial art practice, serving on the advisory board of Aikido Shimbokukai.
