A mondō (問答 ) is a recorded collection of dialogues between a pupil and a "rōshi" (a Zen Buddhist teacher).  Zen tradition values direct experience and communication over scriptures. (Some teachers go so far as to instruct their pupils to tear up their scriptures.)  However, sometimes the "mondō" acts as a guide on the method of instruction. Joseph John Campbell (March 26, 1904 – October 30, 1987) was an American mythologist, writer, and lecturer, best known for his work in comparative mythology and comparative religion.  His work covers many aspects of the human experience.  Campbell's "magnum opus" is his book "The Hero with a Thousand Faces" (1949), in which he discusses his theory of the journey of the archetypal hero found in world mythologies.  Since the book's publication, Campbell's theory has been consciously applied by a wide variety of modern writers and artists.  His philosophy has been summarized by his own often repeated phrase: "Follow your bliss."

The members are directly involved in running the Center. Engaged Buddhism refers to Buddhists who are seeking ways to apply the insights from meditation practice and dharma teachings to situations of social, political, environmental, and economic suffering and injustice.  Finding its roots in Vietnam through the Zen Buddhist teacher Thích Nhất Hạnh, Engaged Buddhism has grown in popularity in the West. Hakuyū Taizan Maezumi (前角 博雄 Maezumi Hakuyū, February 24, 1931–May 15, 1995) was a Japanese Zen Buddhist teacher and rōshi, and lineage holder in the Sōtō, Rinzai, and Sanbo Kyodan traditions of Zen.
