David dropped out of Reed College to move into Zen Center. He took up studies under Richard Baker Roshi, and in 1977, he received ordination as unsui or “cloud-water person.” He did many academic and practical jobs as part of community life there, which ran from 1972-85. The 1983 scandal at SF Zen Center led to the departure of Baker Roshi. In 1984, in the formal shuso ceremony, David was ordained as a head monk at the Hartford Street Zen Center in San Francisco.

In 1985 David was formally accepted by Trungpa Rinpoche as a student. He attended Vajradhatu Seminary in 1986 and staffed Seminary again in 1988.

David wrote Street Zen, a biography of Issan Dorsey, published in 1993 by Shambhala Publications, and again in 2000 by Marlowe. Street Zen won several prizes, included “Best Buddhist Book of the Year” in 1993. In 1994 he co-edited with Kazuaki Tanahashi a collection of zen stories, titled Essential Zen.

In 1995, Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche appointed David Director of Shambhala Europe by, a position he held until 2003. David now works for Vajradhatu Publications Europe; he continues as well to pursue writing projects – currently, a biography of Beat poet and zen master Zenshin Philip Whalen – as well as calligraphy exhibitions.

Quotes by David Schneider (?)

“In my lecture book here, I see that in the last lecture I gave at Santa Fe, I discussed the Five Fears. I must have discussed them because they’re written down here: Fear of Loss of Livelihood, Fear of Loss of Reputation, Fear of Unusual States of Mind, Fear of Death, and Fear of Speaking Before an Assembly. Probably I’m experiencing all five of these fears at this point, right now. Except Loss of Reputation—it’s too late for that.”
― David Schneider, Street Zen: The Life and Work of Issan Dorsey

“On the left bank of the River Seine, in Paris’s labyrinthine Latin Quarter, are situated dozens of buildings associated with the Sorbonne, including the Université Paris 5 René Descartes. Located on the rue de l’École de Médecine, the university’s greatest building is a 17th-century colonnaded structure that houses an enthralling museum of medicine and a library. Inside the building, at the end of the lobby, stands a life-size stone sculpture of a veiled woman who gently lifts a shroud away from her face and upper body, revealing her placid countenance and exposed breasts. The sculpture is titled La Nature se dévoilant à la science, or Nature is revealed through science.”
