Our founder and abbot, Rebecca Nie, has been active in Stanford’s Buddhist ministries since when she was a graduate student at the institution. She is now Stanford University’s Buddhist Chaplain-Affiliate and the acting minister of Zen Buddhism through the Stanford Associated Religions. She teaches regular group meditation sessions and offers one-on-one dharma interviews through Stanford Zen Society (SZS) and is in the process of turning her offerings at Stanford into digital format for greater community. Here are some of her talks on her spiritual path and Bodhicitta, the calling of enlightenment.
