From that moment, and for nearly sixty years after, Weitsmans life took the direct path of Zen-as a student, as a teacher, and as one of the first generations of American Zen masters. The larger portion of the book is a collection of Weitsmans edited talks, his articulation of "ordinary mind," and his strong belief that Zen as a way of life is available to all. Author Biography SOJUN MEL WEITSMAN grew up in Southern California. He became one of the first Americans to train with Shunryu Suzuki Roshi. In 1967, he founded a zendo in Berkeley, which, under Suzuki Roshis guidance, became Berkeley Zen Center. As abbott of Berkeley Zen Center, he practiced and taught there for fifty-five years. Sojun died at home in January 2021, leaving more than thirty dharma heirs and hundreds of devoted students.
