Become Involved Founded in 2000 by Seijaku Roshi, founder of The Zen Society (501C3 organization NJ 1985) and resident Spiritual Teacher, as a year-round Zen Center for resident clergy and non-residents. Our name, Pine Wind was chosen during the first night residency when the Monks were impressed by the sound of the wind as it traveled through the pine trees. The formal name of the temple is Jizo-an. "Jizo" refers to the Bodhisattva of children and women, and points to the early years of Seijaku Roshi's work and dedication to children and single parents. "An" is a Japanese term for "small".
