Scott provides pr actice guidance to residents and leads our weekly Book Group\, monthly Agi ng Buddhas gatherings\, and weekly Intro to Zen classes. \nScott and his w ife\, Guiding Teacher Valerie Forstman Roshi\, came to work at Mountain Cl oud in July of 2022. After an early career as an actor and singer\, he tur ned to Clinical Psychology\, a profession he has worked in for over 45 yea rs (and from which he plans to retire in early 2026)\, though he still enj oys the occasional singer-songwriter gig! He began meditating on his own f or 12 years before joining The Maria Kannon Zen Center in Dallas and begin ning Koan study with Ruben Habito Rōshi in 2000. He continues his trainin g with Henry Shukman Roshi. \n \n \n∞ \nTeisho literally means “presen tation of the shout.” It is not a lecture or a didactic discourse but a direct sharing of the dharma springing from the teacher’s experience. A teisho or dharma talk is not intended to engage the discursive mind. Rathe r\, the invitation is to let the language wash over the listener and\, if something strikes\, to let that resound. \nAt Mountain Cloud\, teisho ofte n take up a koan\, a record of an exchange between Chan/Zen masters or mas ters and disciples that conveys the world they are sharing and carries the seeds of awakening. Teisho invite us to keep company with the ancestors w hose practice-awakening (a term from Dogen) is freshly conveyed each time we turn to this living tradition.
