Yamada Koun Zenshin (山田 耕雲, Yamada Kōun, 1907—1989), or Koun Yamada, was a Japanese Buddhist who was the leader of the Sanbo Kyodan lineage of Zen Buddhism, the Dharma heir of his teacher Yasutani Haku'un Ryoko. Yamada was appointed the leader of the Sanbo Kyodan in 1967, 1970 or 1973 and continued to differentiate the lineage from other Japanese Zen traditions by deemphasizing the separation between laypeople and the ordained—just as his teacher Yasutani had done. Yamada was also instrumental in bringing Christians to the practice of Zen that “by the end of Yamada’s teaching career approximately one quarter of the participants at his sesshins were Christians”.

dbo:abstract
  • Yamada Kôun Roshi (* 1907 als Yamada Kiôzô in Nihonmatsu; † 1989) war ein japanischer Zen-Meister des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er kann als ein Stammvater von Zen-Buddhismus und Zen-Meditation im Westen gelten. Kôun Roshi leitete die unabhängige Zen-Vereinigung Sanbô Kyôdan (heute ), die Soto- und Rinzai-Zen für Mönche wie für Nicht-Ordinierte anbot. Seine Lehre betonte Offenheit und Mitgefühl gegenüber allen Menschen, unabhängig von Nation, Kultur, Glaubensrichtung oder Geschlecht. Sein Angebot zum interreligiösen Dialog zog vor allem Menschen aus dem Westen an, darunter überdurchschnittlich viele christliche Priester und Nonnen, die bei ihm Zen studierten, um später eigene Zen-Zentren in Europa, den Vereinigten Staaten und anderen asiatischen Ländern zu gründen.
