Roshi Enkyo O’Hara

Roshi Pat Enkyo O’Hara is the founder, senior teacher, and abbot emerita of the Village Zendo. She received priest ordination from Roshi Taizan Maezumi and Dharma Transmission and Inka from Bernie Tetsugen Glassman in the White Plum line of Soto Zen.

Bernie Glassman’s focus on social engagement and peacemaking underlies Enkyo Roshi’s vision of Zen practice.
