Rev. Kinrei Bassis began his Buddhist training in an effort to relieve a sense of meaninglessness to life. He felt bound circumstances, emotions, and desires, but when introduced to the Four Noble Truths he saw a way out of suffering and a path to peace and happiness. He began training with Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett and ordained as a monk under her direction in 1979, training at Shasta Abbey. He received Dharma Transmission in 1982 and was named Master by Rev. Master Jiyu-Kennett in 1987. He has been the Prior of the Berkeley Buddhist Priory since 1997.
