Colin Gipson
Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014
9AM – noon
In October of 2003, San Antonio Zen arose out of a wish to
share the Dharma and sitting practice in the Soto traditions
of Shunryu Suzuki. This wish was realized with the guidance
and example of the teachers and students of the Austin
Zen Center. We aspire to benefit all beings (including
ourselves) in each moment, unconditionally, with
awareness, energy, lovingkindness, compassion, joy and
equanimity, relaxing with what is, to realize awakening.
Colin Gipson is the Guiding Teacher of the San Antonio Zen Center. He was born in Austin and raised in central
Texas. Colin served in the Marine Corps and eventually landed in Michigan, where he received a degree in
English Language and Literature from the University of Michigan. Colin returned to Texas in 1999 and began
practicing at the Austin Zen Center in 2000. He was ordained in 2003 and practiced at San Francisco Zen Center
for several years. Colin is available for practice discussion and can be reached at www.sanantoniozen.org.
