Choro Antonaccio began formal Zen practice at Chapel Hill Zen Center in 1999. She received lay precepts from her teacher, Rev. Josho Patricia Phelan, in 2001 and priest ordination in 2010. She was shuso in Chapel Hill in 2016. Rev. Choro has practiced at the three temples of San Francisco Zen Center including practice periods at Tassajara and Green Gulch Farm. In Chapel Hill she served for multiple years in the positions of Tenzo, Work Leader, and Ino and also served as member at large and president of the board of directors. She decided to end her career in academia in 2018 and moved to Austin to practice with the sangha at AZC in 2020. 

Beginning in mid-October we will have the opportunity to come together for eight weeks of intensified practice. This ancient practice, shared by all schools of Buddhism, is said to be “the ancient custom of abiding within, and maintaining, the Treasures of Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha” by our ancestor Dogen. This talk will explore how we will engage in this “Peaceful Abiding” together and how you can participate, at whatever level of commitment.
