Bodhin Kjolhede (born 1948) is a Soto/Rinzai Zen roshi and head Abbot of the Rochester Zen Center (RZC), a position he assumed when Philip Kapleau retired from teaching in 1986. He ordained as a priest in 1976 and received Dharma transmission in 1983, and has already named some Dharma heirs of his own: Sevan Ross, Gerardo Gally, Amala Wrightson. Additionally, Kjolhede has received two transmission offers from Soto teachersFact|date=September 2008, but has thus far chosen to decline both offers. Bodhin's sister, Sunya Kjolhede (also a teacher at RZC), are both vegetarians.
