A Night of Tassajara Stories with David Chadwick and Edward Espe Brown — San Francisco Zen Center

In gratitude for David Chadwick’s enormous contribution in preserving the legacy of Shunryu Suzuki and his students, we offer this recording of the final event David participated in through San Francisco Zen Center. This discussion was held online on Tuesday, December 9, 2025. Remembering David Reich Chadwick: https://blogs.sfzc.org/blog/2026/02/2... Author and archivist David Chadwick discussed his latest book, “Tassajara Stories: A Sort of Memoir/Oral History of the First Zen Buddhist Monastery in the West—The First Year, 1967” alongside Zen priest, master cook, and baker Edward Espe Brown, whose seminal “Tassajara Bread Book” was reissued in October, 2025. This special 55th Anniversary Edition celebrates the book's influence on artisanal bread baking. Retracing their own paths along the sage-lined trail to Tassajara, Chadwick and Brown recall how the monastery emerged—from Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and Richard Baker, to the first students, the winding road, the neighbors, the mountains and woods, the city, the war, and the counterculture—not apart from the world, but arising within it.
