Annie Pirruccello Sensei
Annie Sensei began meditation practice in 1980 after being introduced to Asian philosophical texts. She started training with Nicolee Jikyo McMahon Roshi in 1997 and received Dharma Transmission from her in 2009. Koan study is of particular interest and enjoyment to Annie Sensei, although she appreciates early Buddhist skillful means and experimenting with newer Zen modalities. She is professor of philosophy at the University of San Diego, where her teaching and research center on continental and comparative philosophy. She enjoys studying Chinese and is married to physicist D. P. Sheehan.
