Zazen - Service - Dharma Talk
Our Dharma Talk this week will be by Guest Teacher Shogen Danielson
Inspired by a trip to India and Nepal in 1996, Shogen, then Andy, picked up a copy of Huston Smith's ‘The World's Religions’ only to discover that he was Buddhist. After his first stint in the US Peace Corps in Africa, where he began sitting and studying Buddhist teachings, he resettled in the San Francisco Bay Area seeking the Treasure of Sangha. He found it at the San Francisco Zen Center in 2001 where he met his teacher, Teah Strozer. He ordained as a priest with her in 2008, was head monk at Tassajara Zenshin-ji in 2013 and received Dharma Transmission from Teah Roshi in 2022. His formal education includes a B.S.in Engineering Physics with a minor in Astronomy and a M.S. in Physics and Astronomy. After many years in residential Zen, practice at both Tassajara and City Center, he left the monastery to take the practice into the world as a chaplain. He is one of the guiding teachers at the Monterey Bay Zen Center. He loves Buddhadharma, nature, music and sharing life with his children.
