Diane Musho Hamilton Sensei is a Zen priest and Zen teacher. She is the dharma successor of Genpo Roshi, and is his first successor in the Big Mind lineage.
She began her dharma study at Naropa Institute in 1983 with Choygam Trungpa Rinpoche, and became a Zen student of Roshi’s in 1997. In 2003, she received ordination as a Zen monk with her husband, Michael Zimmerman, and dharma transmission from Roshi in the spring of 2006. She is also a lead trainer for the Integral Life Practice seminars at Ken Wilber’s Integral Institute.
For her, Zen practice is a fundamental commitment to experiencing reality as it is – beautiful, ungraspable and seamless, nothing other than your own life. It is also a practice in fearlessness, in compassion, and in seeing the wisdom in all situations and greeting them with a joyous mind.
