Josho Pat Phelan interview

Josho Pat Phelan interview

Completed on July 08, 2009

joshophelan2Josho Pat Phelan is a Soto Zen priest in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki currently serving as guiding teacher at Chapel Hill Zen Center in North Carolina. The Chapel Hill Zen Center, in the Spring of 1991, asked the Abbots of the S.F. Zen Center to send Josho Pat Phelan to lead the group. Pat was ordained in 1977 by the former Abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center, Zentatsu Richard Baker, who was Suzuki Roshi’s successor. She has also studied with two of Suzuki Roshi’s other disciples, Sojun Mel Weitsman and Tenshin Reb Anderson. In addition, she practiced with Robert Aitken Roshi of the Diamond Sangha in Hawaii. I wish to thank Josho for participating in this interview.
