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.
