Anattasati Magga: Roots

The links below contain information about ancestors who influenced Anattasati Magga Sangha and its Soto Zen lineage. Nancy Spence, the sangha’s spiritual guide, considers Roshi Dupont of Vichara Bodhiyana in Greeley Hill, CA, her root teacher. He studied with Nyogen Senzaki who was a student of Soyen Shaku’s. Nyogen Senzaki and Soyen Shaku were among the original monks to bring Buddhism to the United States. Nancy completed her lay priest training at Shasta Abbey where Jiyu Kennett was then Abbess.
