General Information: Overview: Who We Are: Randall Ryotan Eiger

eiger

Ryotan was named Dharma Holder at the Village Zendo temple (Dotoku-ji) in August, 2005. He began the formal practice of Zen in 1989 at Zen Mountain Monastery and studied for eight years with Roshi John Daido Loori. He has been studying with Roshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara since 1997. In August 2002, Ryotan received ordination in the Soto Zen lineage of Taizan Maezumi Roshi. Currently, he serves as coordinator of the Zendo's Buddhist program at Sing Sing prison. Ryotan practices psychotherapy in the Union Square area of Manhattan. He says, "I have found that the practices of Zen and psychotherapy feed each other, though not necessarily in the ways you read about in books. I believe we have only scratched the surface in combining these two disciplines to foster human creativity, growth and well-being."
