SHINZEN’s 75th SURPRISE BIRTHDAY PARTY

After this past retreat in Southern California, SHINZEN thought he was coming to a facilitator training meeting, but was surprised to discover students and friends from the last 40 years all gathered to celebrate his 75th birthday.

Happy birthday Shinzen. Thank you for your wisdom and kindness, elder brother! Love you!!!

Hope he lives as long as his mom - 20 more years! The world needs him. He's very pragmatic about what's happening with technology and neuroscience and he's also refreshingly optimistic, not a doomsayer like so many people these days about AI.

Wish you a long and healthy life brother! Easily my favourite dharma teacher! Long live and long may you continue to spread your wisdom.

Happy birthday from all the people who were not there but were thinking of you and those at the retreat. Many more happy returns.

Thanks to Shinzen I started with mediation few years ago. Can't express how grateful I am for that. Changed the course of my life. Hope he's doing great

Happy birthday, Shinzen 🎉🥳🌈🙏 Your videos shaped my entry into meditation and I still draw inspiration from you. Also just realised today that you’re the literal human incarnation of Master Splinter ;)

looking back with fondness for the teachings and the life at CMC that many of us shared.....the 75th seems a good place for reflection....I have never put my name willingly on the web, so this will seem anonymous, but it is only about privacy.....and good luck with that....

[@islamtanvir9230]

Happy birthday sir

Wouldn’t he have known about this?
