Tenshin Reb Anderson Rōshi (born 1943) is a Zen teacher and lineage holder in the Soto Zen tradition of Shunryū Suzuki Rōshi. He is a Senior Dharma teacher at the San Francisco Zen Center and Green Gulch Farm Zen Center in Marin County, California, where he lives. Reb Anderson was born in Mississippi in 1943 and grew up in Minnesota. In 1967, he abandoned his graduate studies in psychology and mathematics to study Zen under Suzuki Rōshi at the San Francisco Zen Center. Anderson was ordained as a priest in 1970 by Suzuki Rōshi who gave him the Dharma name Tenshin Zenki 天眞全機 (Naturally Real, the Whole Works).

In 1983 Anderson received shihō (Dharma Transmission) from Zentatsu Richard Baker Rōshi, becoming Baker's first Dharma heir, though Baker raised some controversy about this at the time when he was being asked to resign from the position of abbot of San Francisco Zen Center. After Baker's resignation, Anderson replaced him as abbot, serving as co-abbot with Sōjun Mel Weitsman Rōshi from 1986-1995.

According to James Ishmael Ford, “…Anderson Rōshi is one of the first people to have worked hard to bring Dōgen studies West. He has also stretched much of Zen's traditional approach to psychology by drawing upon other ancient Buddhist sources, including Abhidharma and Yogachara teaching, while at the same time being solidly informed regarding Western approaches to the discipline.” Tenshin Rōshi has given Dharma transmission to several well-known teachers, including Taigen Dan Leighton, and a host of others: Eijun Linda Cutts, Kiku Christina Lehnherr, Furyu Nancy Schroeder, Ananda Claude Dalenberg, Paul Zengyu Discoe, Sobun Katherine Thanas, Jerome Peterson, Myo Denis Lahey, Setsuan Gaelyn Godwin, Jakujo Gary McNabb, Taiyo Lipscomb, Leslie James and Meiya Wender, Kokyo Henkel.

Tenshin Roshi continues to teach at Zen Center, living with his family at Green Gulch Farm. He is author of
