Myoho Joshin John Busch began meditating and studying buddhism in college. Peace Corps in Thailand got him started on a Theravada path, and later he slightly overcame his aversion to formalism and took up Zen practice at SFZC and BZC where he held a number of practice positions including project manager, Saturday and sesshin director. John was ordained and transmitted by Baika Pratt Heaton and currently co-leads the Mt Diablo Zen Group in Pleasant Hill. In real life John is retired from Berkeley Lab working on sustainable energy, married to fellow sangha member Colleen, and smitten with their Aussie Mojo.
