Listen "Introduction to Joko Bek"
Episode Synopsis
I give some history of American Zen and some details of Joko’ biography. This helps to understand her break from her teacher, Taizan Maezumi Roshi and the innovations she made to western Zen, such as her emphasis on practice and deemphasis on the teacher and enlightenment. Her emphasis on psychology and deemphasis on robes and ritual, developing a unique American style of zen.
