Jean Ross

Jean Ross was the third woman in this trio who started practicing at Sokoji soon after he arrived - after she met Shunryu Suzuki at Kazemitsu Kato's class on Buddhism at the AAAS, American Academy of Asian Studies. Here she is with Suzuki in about 1964.

Cuke page on Jean Ross with excerpts from Crooked Cucumber and her Japan reports in the early sixties from the Wind Bells. She was a pioneer woman in the world of Zen. - dc
