Daniel Doen Silberberg, Roshi
An intimate and genuine style of teaching traditional Zen, enriched by an eclectic background in ‘The Way.’
Roshi’s teaching draws on years of Gurdjieff training and the 25 years he studied Zen Buddhism before beginning to teach. He studied with Hakuyu Taizan Maezumi Roshi, founder of the White Plum Asanga, John Daido Loori Roshi and Genpo Dennis Merzel Roshi.
He is also an author, a psychologist, and an award-winning composer. At present he is studying Krav Maga and playing electronic music.

Rebecca Ryuen Long Okura, Sensei
Vice-Abbot of Lost Coin Zen, Ryuen Sensei is also its head of administration.
She has studied Zen since 2004 in the White Plum lineage. A dharma successor to Daniel Doen Silberberg Roshi, she received transmission in 2020 and became a teacher in her own right. Today she leads the Sunday sitting session and koan practice for students, gives the dharma talk, and meets students one-to-one in Daisan.
Her practice reaches well beyond the zendo. She is a mother, the managing attorney of a law firm, a student of Mandarin and classical Chinese, and an antiquarian book collector, and she brings that experience to Zen-based coaching at wucoach.com.
