Rubén L. F. Hábito (born c. 1947) is a Filipino Zen rōshi of the Sanbō Kyōdan lineage.[1]

Biography

Hábito started out as a Jesuit priest doing missionary work in Japan. There, he began practising under Yamada Kōun, a Zen rōshi who taught Christian students, which was unusual for the time. In 1988, Hábito received dharma transmission from Yamada. Ruben subsequently left the Jesuit order in 1989, and in 1991 founded the Maria Kannon Zen Center, a lay organization in Dallas, Texas.

Hábito has been a faculty member of the Perkins School of Theology at the Southern Methodist University since 1989. He is married and has two sons.
