  • Teacher  Rev. Choro Antonaccio
  • Date/Time  Saturday, October 23 at 10am
  • Location  AZC Online Zendo

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. 

Choro received dharma transmission from Abbot Konjin Gaelyn Godwin of Houston Zen Center this month. Her talk describes some of the form, history and meaning of dharma transmission, and what it might mean to be ‘transmitted’, for the priest who undergoes the process and for others.
