The text says that Eiheiji is one of the two most important temples of the Soto sect. It would be a nice idea to name the other temple too.

Another is Sojiji (總持寺, http://www.sojiji.jp/ ) in Tsurumi-ku, Yokohama-shi. Sh 17:36, 24 Sep 2004 (UTC)

Hoitsu sama is _not_ abbot of Eheji. he is the tanto, in charge of instructing new monks. This confusion may be caused by the fact that many transmitted teachers become "Abbot for a day" of both eheji and sojiji before becoming abbot of their own temple. This a largely ceremonial. I question the merit of discussing Hoitsu sama and Mel roshi in an article about eheji. Flying walrus 16:14, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
