Scott Sensei
Scott Sensei is a teacher of Zen meditation, including shikantaza (just sitting in awareness) and koan practice (deep enquiry), tracing his lineage to Taizan Maezumi Roshi. Born and raised in Liverpool, he started practicing meditation when he was 13 and met his teacher in 1997.
Scott Sensei’s teaching approach is grounded in the realisation that awareness has the capacity to heal and transform our daily life; taking us from being lost in thought, overpowered by feelings and distractions to being centred and awake in any situation. His approach emphasises the importance of integrating meditation into everyday life through bringing all circumstances to practice.
In 2017, he was recognised as a Dharma Holder (Hoshi) and in 2021, received Dharma Transmission (Shiho) from Catherine Genno Pagés Roshi. Within the context of a demanding career in Change Management and the responsibilities of family life, Scott Sensei has continued to integrate ordinary life and Zen practice.
He established the Hazy Moon Zen Sangha in Doncaster in 2013, providing a supportive space for those seeking to deepen or start a meditation practice. His teachings extend beyond meditation, incorporating compassion practices and Council Circle to cultivate a holistic approach to practice.
