Our guiding teacher is Soshin Teah Strozer. Teah is a Zen Buddhist priest, dharma teacher, and lineage-holder in the Soto Zen tradition of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. She received dharma transmission from Sojun Mel Weitsman. Teah has been practicing meditation since 1967, lived at Tassajara Monastery for 11 years, and has studied directly under Shunryu Suzuki Roshi, Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche and Dainin Katagiri Roshi. Teah currently teaches at the San Francisco Zen Center and The Bay School of San Francisco. She visits our community throughout the year to teach and lead extended meditation retreats and practice periods. In September of 2011, Teah will relocate to become the permanent, head teacher of Brooklyn Zen Center.
