Cristina Moon

I’m a social activist, technologist, potter, and ordained Zen Buddhist priest. Throughout my professional career, I’ve designed and led movements to champion human rights and democracy in Burma, eliminate nuclear weapons, expand economic opportunity through the sharing/gig economy, and more. In 2016, I graduated from the Stanford University Graduate School of Business.

In 2024, I published Three Years on the Great Mountain: A Memoir of Zen and Fearlessness about my first three years living and training at Daihonzan Chozen-ji, a Zen temple and martial arts dojo in Hawaiʻi.

Today, I live and work in Honolulu, and still train and teach at Chozen-ji.
