Tim Zentetsu Burkett (1943-)

Dharma name: 禅徹

Tim Zentetsu Burkett (born 1943) is a Soto Zen teacher and abbot of the Minnesota Zen Meditation Center (MZMC). He is a licensed psychologist with a Ph.D. in Psychology and executive director of People Incorporated, a non-profit that provides services for mentally-ill people. Tim came to Zen practice in 1964, studying under Shunryu Suzuki-Roshi; he then opened a center in the Bay Area for Suzuki-Roshi that next year. In 1970 he and his wife moved to Minnesota and there Tim continued his practice with the late Dainin Katagiri-Roshi, who ordained him a priest in 1978. From 1978 to 1983 he served as President of MZMC and received Dharma transmission from 碩順 Sekijun Karen Sunna (born Karen Thorkelson, 1942)  in 2000 (herself a Dharma heir of Katagiri-Roshi).
Burkett-roshi has named the following dharma successors: Lee Lewis, Rosemary Taylor, Susan Nelson and Tim O’Toole.
