The Zen practiced at the Williamsburg Zen Center is inspired
by the teaching of Denkyo Kyozan Joshu Sasaki, Roshi. Roshi comes from the Myoshin-ji school of Rinzai Zen in Japan.

He came to the United States in 1962 and has been teaching Rinzai Zen here continuously with great vigor to the present.

Born in 1907, if all goes well he will be celebrating his 101th birthday this April.
