An Abbot serves a Zen center in an administrative capacity, and does not necessarily provide spiritual direction, though several are Soen Sa Nims. These individuals take care of budgets and other such tasks.<ref group=web>[http://www.kwanumzen.org/misc/glossary.html Kwanum Zen Glossary]</ref>
==White Plum Asanga==
The White Plum Asanga, consisting of Dharma heirs of [[Taizan Maezumi]], recognizes ''denkai'', transmission of the [[Bodhisattva precepts]], in advance of dharma transmission:
{{quote|This authorizes them to give the precepts ([[jukkai]]) and to ordain ([[shukke tokudo]]), although not to give dharma transmission, themselves.<ref group=web name=SeepingZenDenkai>[http://sweepingzen.com/denkai Sweeping Zen, ''Denkai'']</ref>}}
This precept-transmission has a long history in Soto-shu. [[Keizan]], the fourth Soto-patriarch, received transmission of the precepts from [[Sandai sōron|Gien]], the third (actually fourth) abbot of [[Enheiji]], but received dharma transmission from [[Tettsū Gikai]], the disputed third abbot of Enheiji.{{sfn|Faure|2000|p=55}}
