The '''Soto Zen Buddhist Association''' was formed in 1996 by American and Japanese Zen teachers in response to a perceived need to draw the various autonomous lineages of the North American [[Sōtō]] stream of Zen together for mutual support as well as the development of common training and ethical standards. With about one hundred fully transmitted priests, the SZBA now includes members from most of the Japanese-derived [[Sōtō]] [[Zen]] lineages in North America. The founding president was [[Tetsugen Bernard Glassman]], followed by Sojun [[Mel Weitsman]], Myogen Steve Stucky, [[Jishō Warner]] (the first female president), and Eido Frances Carney. |
