Hozan Alan Senauke was pivotal in maintaining the Berkeley Zen Center's stability during uncertain times, especially after the loss of previous abbot Sojun Mel Weitsman.
His early life was marked by a strong commitment to social justice, participating in protests and absorbing influential teachings that shaped his activist and spiritual journey.
Growing up in a secular Jewish family in Brooklyn, Hozan's diverse interests ranged from science to literature, leading to a multifaceted identity that embraced activism profoundly.
Hozan's presence is remembered not just as an abbot, but as a harmonious individual whose various life roles resonated across different circles of community and influence.
