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 the esteemed Taizan Maezumi Roshi. Born and raised in Liverpool, he discovered the joy of silent meditation at the tender age of 13. This early encounter ignited a lifelong passion for the simple yet profound practice of sitting in awareness.
Scott Sensei’s teaching style is both grounded and inspiring, blending the ancient wisdom of Zen with the realities of modern life. His approach emphasizes the importance of integrating meditation into everyday life, fostering a compassionate and mindful existence.
In 2017, he was recognised as a Dharma Holder (Hoshi) and, in 2021, received transmission of Dharma (Shiho) from his revered teacher, Catherine Genno Pagés Roshi. Despite 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 Sangha in Doncaster in 2013, providing a supportive community for those seeking to deepen their meditation practice. His teachings extend beyond traditional meditation, incorporating compassion practices and Council Circle to cultivate a holistic approach to spiritual growth.
