[Michael Elliston] says about 1,000 Atlantans belong to the Soto Zen Center. They come from all walks of life and represent several religions. You can practice Zen meditation, he says, and still hold onto your Christian, Jewish or Islamic beliefs. "It's more a way of life," he says. "It really doesn't contradict science. My teacher believes it's the religion of the future."

There are, however, a number of small regional networks that are mostly confined to the South, such as the Zen temples in the Matsuoka lineage originating from his disciple Michael Elliston at the Atlanta Zoto Zen Center, and those in the Deshimaru lineage that spring from his disciple Robert Livingston at the New Orleans Zen Temple. Both the Matsuoka and Deshimaru lineages are not particularly prevalent in other parts of the country.
