Vernon Kitabu Turner/Roshi is an American Zen Master, author and modern-day spiritual warrior who is routed in The Spirit of Jesus Christ. He studied for two decades with Himalayan Guru, Sadguru Sant Keshavadas after receiving initiation from Zen Master, Nomura Roshi of Japan. Sant Keshavadas endorsed his enlightenment experience and charged him to bridge the gap between East and West, Science and Religion. He also commanded that he take the teachings on Mind (Dharma) to the African American community. The ministry of Vernon Kitabu Turner/Roshi, who is also an active Christian minister, is global and action-based. Kitabu Roshi proves that Zen or Dhyana is a universal tool for restoring Original Mind without regard to race, religious preference or nationality. It can return a person to the pure essence of being before the first thought occurred, a depth Christ spoke of as childlike. Spiritual activity flashes from such a nature.
