Philip Kapleau
Philip Kapleau (1912–2004) was an American Zen teacher and an early popularizer of Zen practice in the United States. He trained for thirteen years in Japan, principally under Yasutani Hakuun, who ordained him and authorized him to teach, and in 1966 he founded the Rochester Zen Center, where he established an independent lineage. He was the author of The Three Pillars of Zen and other works on Zen practice.
