Ryushin Paul Haller, a Soto Zen roshi, is the current co-abbot of the San Francisco Zen Center—a position he shares with Myogen Steve Stücky and has held since 2003. Leaving his homeland of Belfast in Northern Ireland in the early 1970s, Haller spent time in Russia, Afghanistan and Japan. He then went to Thailand for six months and became a Buddhist monk. Coming to California in 1974, he entered Tassajara Zen Mountain Center and was later ordained as a priest by Zentatsu Richard Baker in 1980. He received shiho from Sojun Mel Weitsman in 1993, giving him authority to teach.[1][2][3]
