Shodo Spring

Shodo Spring has practiced Zen for over 40 years, beginning at Minnesota Zen Center, continuing with monastic and semi-monastic training at San Francisco Zen Center and Sanshin Zen Community. Her practice has always been both rooted in the natural world and engaged with human society. She has joined two pilgrimages and led one. Shodo received Dharma transmission from Shohaku Okumura in 2012. Open Reality is her second book, in addition to several published essays and editing Okumura Roshi’s commentary on The Mountains and Waters Sutra. Currently she lives near Faribault and coordinates the Mountains and Waters Alliance.
