Background
The Korinji Foundation, a not-for-profit charitable organization, was founded in 2005 to fund Korinji's construction and to support its future residents. 17 acres (69,000 m2) of forested land were purchased by the Foundation for this purpose in 2008. Groundbreaking occurred in June, 2009 and Korinji was officially dedicated on November 3, 2013, with the completion of its training hall.
Meido Moore Roshi, a student of the Rinzai Zen teachers Tenzan Toyoda Rokoji, Dogen Hosokawa Roshi, and So'zan Miller Roshi, was installed as the first abbot; these teachers all carry the lineage of Omori Sogen Roshi, a well-known Japanese Zen master who was a successor of the Tenryu-ji line of Zen. In 2017 Korinji's residential quarters were completed and the first period of formal monastic training began shortly after.[3]
