Carl Genjo Bachmann

Carl Bachmann received Dharma transmission from Roshi Robert Kennedy in 2010 and obtained the White Plum Asanga title of sensei. He took the dharma name "Genjo," meaning "original silence." At his installation, he said, "Zen has helped me experiene the intimacy of not knowing, allowing me to live a more connected and openhearted life. Teaching is an opportunity to help others experience this for themselves and to serve the greater community that is us." Sensei Bachmann teaches at Clear Mountain Zen Center in Montclair, New Jersey.
