Keith Martin-Smith is a freelance writer in Boulder, CO, where he teaches Northern Shaolin Kung Fu, Buddhism, and writing. Jun Po Denis Kelly Roshi is founder of the internationally recognized Hollow Bones order of the American Rinzai Zen tradition and creator of Mondo Zen, a unique contribution to a 1,500-year-old wisdom lineage that unites emotional maturity and spiritual awareness, creating a powerful synthesis of Eastern contemplative wisdom and Western psychological insight. Jun Po received his Zen Master recognition in 1992. Interested in bringing his Zen lineage into American culture without the Japanese cultural bindings, Jun Po left the monastery and founded the lay Buddhist Hollow Bones order, of which he is abbot. A yoga instructor as well, he traces his lineage to BKS Iyengar and Pattabhi Jois. Jun Po travels internationally offering Mondo Zen retreats. See less
