Guest Teachers


Father Kevin Hunt, OCSO is a frequent guest teacher for our Buddhist-Christian retreats. He has been a monk at Saint Joseph's Abbey in Spencer, Massachusetts, since 1953. In 1970 he met Joshu Sasaki Roshi, a Zen Master teaching in the United States, and began his practice of Zen. He has participated in numerous Christian-Buddhist encounters and is a member of the Board of the Monastic Inter-religious Dialogue, a group of Benedictines and Cistercians formed in North America to exchange visits, often of many months in length, with Hindu and Buddhist monastics in Asia. He also participated with the other Board members in a recent week long meeting with the Dalai Lama. Teaching Article Archive
