Parallax Newsletter #62: Tonight! Zen Confidential with SHOZAN JACK HAUBNER
A conversation with a Zen Preist
Tonight. May 17, 2023, 8pm CET, 2pm ET, I will host a conversation with Shozan Jack Haubner, who describes himself on his Twitter feed as “Zen priest, writer, bon vivant, confused renunciate. Failed screenwriter, poet, stand-up comic, and Catholic. Available for parties.”
Shozanshas has written two books and a number of essays for The Sun, Tricycle, Buddhadharma, Lion's Roar and the New York Times, and the Best Buddhist Writing series. He won the Pushcart Prize in 2012. Haubner's books present partially fictionalized accounts of life with Kyozan Joshu Sasaki and associated Rinzai-Ji Zen centers.
He also runs a popular YouTube channel called Zen Confidential
