Etsudo Shojun John Fuller

Wisconsin

Who Am I? Not knowing

Etsudo was introduced to meditation in the 1990’s by an open-minded art teacher. This introduction opened the door to curiosity, and he has been following the twisted path ever since.

Along the path, he has studied several martial arts and holds a second degree black belt in Shaolin Kempo and a BS in Mechanical Engineering. After exploring many forms of practice, he found a spiritual home with Zen and a deep interconnection with sangha at Zen River Sangha in Appleton.

With a deep realization of the path, he took jukai vows in 2018 and was ordained as a Zen priest in 2024. He is happily married to Zong Zhi Liz Fuller, and together they have 2 adult children.

He currently serves as board president of Zen River Sangha and is working to continue the vision of a 21st century Zen through Hollow Bones.
