Preserving the Legacy of Zen Master, Shunryu Suzuki
Please join a presentation by David Chadwick. He will talk about how he came to practice Zen and is helping to preserve the legacy of Shunryu Suzuki and those whose paths crossed his.
About the Presenter:
David Chadwick, at the age of 21, in 1966, first rang the bell of Sokoji, a Soto Zen temple and the original home of the San Francisco Zen Center. Thus began his serious study under Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. Ordained a Zen priest in 1971, he later wrote Suzuki’s biography, Crooked Cucumber, as well as Thank You and OK!: An American Zen Failure in Japan. Chadwick is the primary preserver of the legacy of Shunryu Suzuki and those whose paths crossed his. See cuke.com for more information. He lives in Bali.
With gratitude,
The Zen Peacemakers Team
