Gensha Lin Maslow is a zen priest in the tradition of Shunryu Suzuki, ordained by Chikudo Lewis Richmond in 2006. Deciding he just wasn’t a theist at age 17, he abandoned his Jewish religion of origin, searching for a more direct and enriching spiritual practice. He began practicing Zen Buddhism at Tassajara Zen Mountain Center in 1980. There were several years of deep involvement with the Radical Faeries in the 80s. He practices with the Vimala Sangha in Mill Valley where he aspires to attain nothing (except a partner, when the time is right, like now). He is a hospice nurse.
