Oshin Jennings is the founder of No Barriers Zen, an accessible sangha active in the Washington, D.C. area and online. Oshin is the first known Deaf monk, and he brings forth his experiences as a Deaf and disabled practitioner to make the Dharma more accessible. In 2022 he received Dharma transmission from Shoho Michael Newhall at Jikoji. Oshin is also an artist and psychotherapist, and together with his community he is translating the Buddhist Sutras into ASL. You can find out more about him and connect at nobarrierszen.org. He invites connections to advance a more inclusive world through Buddhist practice.
