Ananda Claude Dalenberg (1927-2008)

Ananda Claude Dalenberg (July 2, 1927—February 18, 2008) was a Swedish-born Soto Zen priest in the lineage of Shunryu Suzuki-roshi, a Dharma heir of Tenshin Reb Anderson. Ordained a priest by Suzuki-roshi, Claude was a member of the Beat generation with friends such as Jack Kerouac; Kerouac even had him in his novel The Dharma Bums as the character Bud Diefendorf. Dalenberg embraced the role of outsider in life, with his friend James Ishmael Ford saying of him, “Claude's style was too idiosyncratic to fit comfortably into what would arguably become the major Zen institution in North America.” Ford is talking about the San Francisco Zen Center, of course, where Dalenberg remained a senior figure his entire life. He died at age eighty on February 18, 2008.
