Seiun Genro Dai Osh\u014d was the founder of Bodhidharma Zendo Vienna. In 1974, he began his Zen practice with Kyozan Joshu Sasaki R\u014dshi in Mount Baldy, California. Shortly before his death in 2010, Genro Dai Osh\u014d and the Bodhidharma Zendo invited Seigaku Kigen Osh\u014d to take over the Bodhidharma Zendo as Osh\u014d and meanwhile abbot.

Seigaku Kigen Osh\u014d was trained by Kyozan Joshu Sasaki R\u014dshi for many years in Mount Baldy, California. After completing his monk training in 1999, Kigen was ordained as an osh\u014d – a priest – and became vice-abbot of the Rinzai-ji Zen Temple in Los Angeles. In 2012 he came to Vienna as a Zen priest and a few years later, together with the Bodhidharma Zendo and its members, founded the BergZendo Hohe Wand as a new training and seminar center.
