Saturday Morning Virtual Meditation, Guest Speaker Meido Barbara Anderson Roshi

Join us online for Zen meditation and a Dharma talk by our guest teacher, Meido Barbara Anderson, PhD!

Image Description: A portrait of Barbara Meido Anderson Roshi, older white presenting woman wearing glasses and formal Zen robes.

Meido Barbara Anderson is the Resident Guiding Teacher at O-An Zendo. She began practicing meditation in 1967 soon after receiving her doctorate in philosophy from Penn State University.

She began her formal study and practice of Zen with the Venerable Thich Nhat Hanh, receiving the Five Precepts from him in 1994. Thereafter, she studied and practiced in the Soto and Rinzai styles with Dai-en Bennage NiOsho, abbess of Mt. Equity Zen Center; Genro Lee Milton Sensei, abbot of Endless Mountain Zendo, and Jiro Andy Afable Osho of Early Light Zendo.

In 2010 she received the Ten Grave Buddhist Precepts from her guiding teacher Shoho Michael Newhall, abbot of Jikoji and Dharma heir of Kobun Chino Roshi. She was ordained as a Zen priest in 2011, and transmitted to become a Dharma heir in the Cloud Phoenix lineage in 2019 by Shoho Michael Newhall.   

For the past five years, Meido has studied and practiced Japanese Ceremonial Tea, and offers tea regularly to members of the O-An sangha and the larger community.
We will have 2 periods of Zen meditation (30 minutes each), followed by a Dharma talk.

Join us online for Zen meditation and a Dharma talk by our guest teacher, Pamela Nenzen Brown!

Image description: Ōshin a tall white monk is smiling warmly, he is standing behind Nenzen resting his hand on her shoulder. Nenzen has long white hair and is also smiling warmly.

Chōbun Nenzen Pamela Brown was introduced to meditation practice in 1976. Forty years later, as her father was declining with a neurodegenerative disease, she decided to stay seated. Pamela met Sensei Gary Koan Janka, and practiced with and served Koan Sensei's Santa Barbara Zen Center. Koan lay ordained Nenzen and later introduced her to Jikoji Zen Center where she was ordained in Kobun Chino Otogawa Roshi's lineage by Shoho Michael Newhall. She received dharma transmission from Jakko Eso Vanja Palmers at Felsentor, Switzerland in 2022.
