Title:     The work of this moment : An interview with Toni Packer
Creator: Dobrowolski, Jacek
Catalan subject: Toni Packer Intervius
English subject: Toni Packer Interviews
Abstract:  After many years as a student of Zen teacher Philip Kapleau, Toni Packer gaveup being co-leader of his Zen Center in Rochester, NY, and in 1981 founded a city center there, and later a country center in Springwater, NY. Interviewed in July 1986 by Jacek Dobrowolski, a Zen student and scholar from Warsaw, Toni is author of "Seeing Without Knowing." The Springwater Center has a staff of 12 and over 200 members around the country. Jacek, a resident of Cambridge Zen Center, is starting graduate studies in comparative religion at Harvard University. Due to space limitations, we are unable to print the interview in full. An expanded version of it will be published in Toni's forthcoming book, "The Work of This Moment." Toni's statements do not necessarily reflect the teachings of the Kwan Um Zen School. However, they are provocative and we invite our readers to comment
