Karen Miller
Karen Maezen Miller is the author of Momma Zen: Walking the Crooked Path of Motherhood, an intimate and inspiring guide to the Zen wisdom found in the everyday lessons of early motherhood. The Dallas Morning News featured this interview with Karen, and Shambhala Sun says "Momma Zen is a book you can read again and again." William Martin, author of The Parent's Tao Te Ching calls Momma Zen "an extraordinary book of practical wisdom... which offers the reader a way of peace and freedom in the midst of fatigue and doubt" and William Nyogen Yeo Roshi, director of the Hazy Moon Zen Center in Los Angeles, says "I know her book is about motherhood, but if this is all you see in this book, you cheat yourself." Karen and the book have been a big hit among the leading "mommy bloggers," one of whom called it "a gentle reminder that life is all about the practice, not the perfect" while another said the book contains "enough pearls of wisdom to string a necklace." A mother, wife, writer and Zen Buddhist priest, Karen began her Zen training in 1993 as a student of Taizan Maezumi Roshi, the founding abbot of the Zen Center of Los Angeles, one of the first Japanese masters to bring Zen to the West and a seminal figure in 20th century Zen. A journalist by training, she had a 20-year career as the owner of a marketing and public relations agency before devoting herself to marriage and motherhood. She freelances as a business communications consultant, speechwriter, speech trainer, web copywriter and executive ghostwriter. Karen and her husband have the good fortune and grimy fingernails of owning and maintaining Southern California's oldest private Japanese garden, an 88-year-old, 7,500-square-foot backyard treasure. |
