American Zen

Bill Yoshin Jordan (above), founder and director of the Santa Monica Zen Center, knots his priest's robe in preparation for sitting zazen, a form of meditation. Jordan hangs an American flag in the center to emphasize that the tradition forming here is an expressly American Buddhism rather than a transplant from Asia. Buddhism is attractive to many Americans because it does not require a choice between religions—as one of the center's students says, "I consider myself a JewBu."
