James Kempf began his study and practice of Buddhism with a meditation course in 1972 at Wesleyan University. He ordained as a Zen priest (tokudo) with Yvonne Rand, a Zen teacher in the Suzuki Roshi lineage and cofounder of Zen Center in San Francisco. James' study combined Zen forms with basic mindfulness meditation and included a six week retreat at Insight Meditation Society in Barre in the fall of 1996. In 2002, James relinquished his tokudo vows, continuing his practice primarily with vipassana meditation. In recent years he sat three month-long retreats at Spirit Rock, dedicated a half year to daily metta practice, and has begun the study of concentration practice with Shaila Catherine.
