PDF: Soto Zen Buddhist Association Lineage Chart
by Charlie Korin Pokorny

This lineage chart displays the lineages of active members of the SZBA as of Sept 18, 2008. Members in each lineage are displayed in a box (or boxes) in alphabetical order. The horizontal arrangement of the lineages on each page is of no particular significance.

In addition to major Soto Zen figures included in members' lineages (such as Banjin Dotan (pg 2 col 8), Bokuzan Nishiari (pg 2 col 9), Gento Sokuchu (pg 2 col 2), Manzan Dohaku (pg 2 col 8), Tenkei Densen (pg 1 col 2), and others), the lineages of a few others are included to show where they connect (including Daigu Ryokan (pg 2 col 5), Menzan Zuiho (pg 1 col 5), and Unkei Tosui (pg 2 col 11)).

Also included are the lineages of some 20th century figures including: Soyu Matsuoka (pg 3 col 1), Eko Hashimoto (pg 3 col 5, teacher of Dainin Katagiri (pg 2 col 2) & Tsugen Narasaki (pg 3 col 4)), and Ian Kishizawa (pg 2, col 9, teacher of Renpo Niwa (pg 1 col 4) & Shunryu Suzuki (pg 1 col 1)). Eko Hashimoto, Ian Kishizawa, Kodo Sawaki (pg 2 col 1) and Daiun Sogaku Harada (pg 2 col 4) all studied with Oka Sotan (transmission from Tōken Mitetsu, studied with Bokuzan Nishiari). Taizan Maezumi (pg 1 col 2) studied with Haku'un Yasutani (teacher of Koun Yamada (teacher of Chotan Aitken)) who in turn studied with Daiun Sogaku (pg 2 col 4).
