Gentō Sokuchū (Japanese: 玄透即中) was a Sōtō Zen priest and the 50th abbot of Eihei-ji the school’s head temple. He was part of a 17th and 18th century movement within the Sōtō school that sought to bring the school’s teachings back in line with those of the 13th century founding teacher Dōgen. To this end he edited major editions of works by Dōgen and succeeded in disseminating them widely.
