[Buddha-l] Emeritus Professor of Philosophy Paul Schmidt Dies

[Bernie Simon]

I don't know this gentleman, but I figure some on this list will.

Paul F. Schmidt, emeritus professor of philosophy at the University of  
New Mexico and department chair from 1965 until 1976, died in  
Albuquerque on February 1. He was 82. The cause of death was  
pneumonia. While on sabbatical in Kyoto, Japan, in 1972 Schmidt  
studied Zen Buddhism with Professor Sohaku Ogata, Abbot of Chotoku-in,  
Shokoku-ji, and on his return began over a decade of teaching Ch’an/ 
Zen Buddhism. He and Maria Chabot, a faithful auditor of his classes,  
were instrumental in founding the Bodhi Manda Zen Center in Jemez  
Springs.
