| About me |
Rev. Takafumi Kawakami is the 24th abbot of Shunkoin, a Rinzai Zen sub-temple within Kyoto’s historic Myoshinji complex. With a background in religious studies from Arizona State University, he bridges classical Zen teachings with contemporary life. Known for his global talks on zazen and the evolving notion of self, he brings a bold yet grounded voice to modern spiritual inquiry. On the program, he will introduce Zen perspectives that challenge our default view of selfhood and invite a deeper sense of responsibility, connection, and presence.
