Description: Susan Jion Postal, ordained Zen Priest and student of the late Maurine Stuart, Roshi of the Cambridge Buddhist Assoc., has been studying and practicing in the Buddhist tradition for more than 35 years. Beginning with Dzogchen practice in the Tibetan Vajrayana, there followed Soto Zen study at the Zen Community of New York and subsequent Rinzai based Zen practice in Cambridge.
