Jochū Tengin (如仲天誾, also 恕仲天誾; 1363-1437) was a Sōtō Zen monk. He received dharma transmission from Baisan Monpon and is considered a patriarch by the Sōtō school.
By the time of Jochū, the institution and organization of the Keizan line of Sōtō Zen was complete.[1] His disciples, Kisan Shōsan and Shingan Dōkū, started separate dharma lineages that are honored in different temples within the school.
