About Me

I was born in 1969 and raised as second son in Tone family. When I was 16 years old I had trained to become a Buddhist. When 20 years old, I had full ordained to become a Buddhist priest. After completed master degree program, the Buddhist studies, I became an oversea’s Buddhist priest and visited the United States of America. I lived in Hawaii to the East Coast for about 17 years. In the US I encountered Zen Buddhism and practiced at a Zen monastery in Japan. Since then, I practice and introduce Nembutsu-Zen Buddhism. I inherit the Tone clan as the head priest of Joganji Buddhist Temple on April 30th 2014.
Here is my temple website and please visit : http://joganji-temple.com
