Eido Tai Shimano (嶋野 栄道, Shimano Eidō, 1 October 1932[citation needed] – 18 February 2018)[1] was a Rinzai Zen Buddhist priest. He was the founding abbot of the New York Zendo Shobo-Ji in Manhattan and Dai Bosatsu Zendo Kongo-Ji monastery in the Catskill mountains of New York; he was forced to resign from that position of 40 years after revelations of a series of sexual relationships with and alleged sexual harassment of female students.[2][1]
