Dave Peters is abbot and senior dharma teacher of the Isthmus Zen
Community in Madison, Wisconsin. He began Zen practice in 1973 at Shasta
Abbey, Mt. Shasta, California, under the direction of Roshi
Jiyu-Kennett. For many years he wandered in and out of zendos and dharma
halls in California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, and Wisconsin,
carefully avoiding commitment to any tradition. In 1997 David began
practice in the Kwan Um School of Zen with Zen Master Dae Kwang and
William Brown, JDPSN, and in 2007 received bodhisattva teacher precepts
from guiding teacher Thomas Pastor, Zen Master Ji Haeng.
