Read John Daido Loori as he weaves the rich realm of people, nature, art and personal experience with spirituality to convey the dynamic spirit of Zen as a living teaching.

• He is the spiritual leader and abbot of Zen Mountain Monastery in Mt. Tremper, New York. Trained in koan Zen as well as in the subtle school of Master Dogen's Zen, he is a dharma heir of Hakuyu Taizan Maezumi Roshi. He has received transmission in both the Rinzai as well as Soto lines of Zen Buddhism.

• Devoted to maintaining authentic Zen training he has developed a distinctive style called the Eight Gates of Zen, based on the Eightfold Path, involving both monastic and lay practitioners in a program of study that embraces every aspect of daily life.

• Drawing on his background as scientist, artist, naturalist, and Zen priest, Abbot Loori is an American master who speaks directly to students from the perspective of a common background. He was involved with computers in the early 50's as part of his work in scientific research and has maintained an avid interest in using technology for compassionate activities in the world.

• Abbot Loori is the founder and director of the Mountains and Rivers Order, an organization of Zen Buddhist temples, practice centers, and sitting groups in the U.S. and abroad. He is also president of Dharma Communications, a right-action enterprise devoted to making Buddhist teachings widely available through the production of video tapes, books, meditation supplies, and a quarterly journal, the Mountain Record.

• He is quite a prolific writer and his books have been translated into French, German, Polish, Spanish, and Hebrew.

• As a professional photographer he has conducted photography workshops across the United States, and exhibited in 54 one-person shows and 118 group shows, both in the United States and worldwide. He has also directed, filmed or produced ten documentary works and several art videos that interweave poetry, music and visual imagery. His recent ‘Mountains and Rivers’ video was winner of the ‘Gold Award’ at the WorldFest Charleston International Film Festival, and ‘Honorable Mention’ at the Columbus International Film and Video Festival.
