Shinshu Roberts, co-founder and teacher at Capitola’s Ocean Gate Zen Temple in California, was ordained as a Sōtō Zen priest in 1988, and received teacher certification in 2005 in the Suzuki Roshi lineage. She holds the appointment of Kokusaifukyoshi (International Teacher) with the Soto Zen School in Japan since 2005. Shinshu is the author of the commentaries Being-Time: A Practitioner’s Guide to Dōgen’s Shōbōgenzō, Wisdom, 2018 and Meeting the Myriad Things: A Zen Practitioner’s Guide to Dōgen’s Genjōkōan, Shambhala, 2025. She is a member of these organizations: American Zen Teachers Association, Soto Zen Buddhist Association, Soto Zen North America and Association of Soto Zen Buddhists. In her commentaries on Dogen Zenji's teachings it is her intention to bring these teachings into our contemporary dialogue about how we practice Zen. Practicing Zen is based upon manifesting our basic nature as being already endowed with buddha nature; as is all of reality. Nevertheless, it is difficult for us to go beyond our delusion and conflict to bring forth our compassion and wisdom for and with all beings that make our world. Dogen's teachings guide us in our vow to benefit all, not just the self.
