Who is
DaiJu? The Venerable DaiJu ZenJi (Simon Rowe) is an ordained monk of the
Rinzai Zen Buddhist lineage. He has lived, trained in and taught
meditation in Buddhist Monasteries and communities in Japan, India, the US
and Europe.
While he has had the opportunity to
learn from teachers of many different schools of Buddhism, including the
Dalai Lama, it was not until he found his way to Japan that he met his
true teacher. Under his master, the Reverend ShoDo Harada Roshi, he
experienced 7 years of continual training in the harshest of
conditions and it was this Master and this Teaching which continues to
guide all his choices in life now.
After
leaving the monastery DaiJu studied Traditional Chinese Medicine at
Sydney's own UTS where he achieved his B.HSc. (TCM). He has worked as
an acupuncturist and herbalist in Europe as well as in Australia and is an
active and enthusiastic explorer of the ancient art of TCM! The
Venerable DaiJu is an experienced and confident public speaker who is
happy to give lectures or seminars on any aspects of Buddhism
or Traditional Chinese Medicine and Health. |
