![]() | A fact from Eihei-ji appeared on Wikipedia's
Main Page in the
Did you know column on 7 April 2012 (
check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

The text says that Eiheiji is one of the two most important temples of the Soto sect. It would be a nice idea to name the other temple too.
Hoitsu sama is _not_ abbot of Eheji. he is the tanto, in charge of instructing new monks. This confusion may be caused by the fact that many transmitted teachers become "Abbot for a day" of both eheji and sojiji before becoming abbot of their own temple. This a largely ceremonial. I question the merit of discussing Hoitsu sama and Mel roshi in an article about eheji. Flying walrus 16:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
Greetings, Maculosae tegmine lyncis. You have improved this article greatly, and in only one edit! Thank you very much. I am sorry I don't know Japanese at all, only English. So yes, reliable sourcing could be a problem. For example, excuses, excuses: the date transposition you point out existed in this article before the expansion. Also I am using a blog source. Any changes you have time to make here are most welcome! I just bought a copy of Sōtō Zen in Medieval Japan by Prof. Bodiford (1993). Is he a good source? - SusanLesch ( talk) 15:55, 4 April 2012 (UTC)
Did I miss it somehow or is there no indication of who the current abbot/roshi is at Eihei-ji? And maybe something on previous abbots of note? Isoruku ( talk) 02:19, 9 December 2013 (UTC)
The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Eihei-ji/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
As to above identification Wikipedia itself STATES that that is the other of the two, so there is no need to be coy, if you are the writer why not enter it here for consistency at least. |

It would be nice to have Japanese terms translated, e.g. the first two in the History section. One doesn't always want to jump to the wikilink while reading. -- D Anthony Patriarche ( talk) 17:28, 29 July 2019 (UTC)
