Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 206.189.32.0/20 has been blocked by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: {{unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~}}. You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

'''Bernie Glassman''' (January 18, 1939 – November 4, 2018) was an American [[Zen Buddhist]] [[Rōshi|roshi]] and founder of the Zen Peacemakers (previously the Zen Community of New York), an organization established in 1980. In 1996, he co-founded the [[Zen Peacemakers|Zen Peacemaker Order]] with his late wife Sandra Jishu Holmes. Glassman was a [[Dharma heir|Dharma successor]] of the late [[Taizan Maezumi]]-roshi, and gave [[Inka (dharma)|inka]] and Dharma transmission to several people.

Glassman was known as a pioneer of [[social enterprise]], socially [[engaged Buddhism]] and "Bearing Witness Retreats" at [[Auschwitz]] and on the streets with homeless people.<ref name="queen2">{{cite journal |url=http://ccbs.ntu.edu.tw/FULLTEXT/JR-EPT/christo.htm |title=Buddhism, activism, and Unknowing: a day with Bernie Glassman (interview with Zen Peacemaker Order founder) |author=Christopher S. Queen | journal =Tikkun  | volume =13 | issue =1 | pages =64–66  |access-date=2010-12-14 }}</ref>

According to author [[James Ishmael Ford]], in 2006 he 
{{blockquote|sign=|source=|...transferred his leadership of the [[White Plum Asanga]] to his Dharma brother [[Dennis Genpo Merzel|Merzel Roshi]] and has formally "disrobed," renouncing priesthood in favor of serving as a lay teacher.}}

Bernie Glassman was born to [[Jewish]] immigrants in [[Brighton Beach]],<ref name="queen2"/> [[Brooklyn, New York]] in 1939.<ref name="ford">{{cite book |author=James Ishmael Ford |title=Zen master who? : a guide to the people and stories of Zen |year=2006 |publisher=Wisdom Publications |pages=[https://archive.org/details/zenmasterwhoguid00jame/page/167 167–168] |url=https://archive.org/details/zenmasterwhoguid00jame/page/167 |isbn=0-86171-509-8 }}</ref> He attended university at the [[Brooklyn Polytechnic Institute]] and received a degree in [[engineering]]. Following graduation he moved to [[California]] to work as an [[aeronautical engineer]] at [[McDonnell-Douglas]]. He then received his [[Ph.D.]] in [[applied mathematics]] from the [[University of California, Los Angeles]].<ref name="queen">{{cite book |author=Christopher S. Queen |title=Engaged Buddhism in the west |year=2000 |publisher=Wisdom publications |isbn=0-86171-159-9}}</ref>

Glassman first encountered Zen when he was assigned [[Huston Smith|Huston Smith's]] ''[[The Religions of Man]]'' for an English class in 1958.<ref name="sweep">{{cite web |url=http://zenpeacemakers.org/2012/05/sweeping-zen-interview-with-bernie-glassman/ |title=Sweeping Zen Interview with Bernie Glassman |date=May 2012 |publisher=Sweeping Zen }}</ref> From there, he continued reading including books by [[Alan Watts]], [[Christmas Humphreys]], and [[D.T. Suzuki]].<ref name="sweep"/> In the early 1960s, Glassman began meditating<ref name="sweep"/> and soon after sought a local [[Zen]] teacher.<ref name="sweep"/> He found [[Taizan Maezumi]] in [[Los Angeles, California]]<ref name="sweep"/> and Glassman became one of the original founding members of the [[Zen Center of Los Angeles]]. He received [[Dharma transmission]] in 1976 from Maezumi, who intended to create an [[Inka (dharma)|inka shomei]] ceremony for him in 1995, shortly before Maezumi's death, conferring the influences of his own main teachers to Glassman.<ref name="ford"/>

In 1980, he founded the Zen Community of New York. In 1982<ref name="goldman">{{cite news |author=Ari L.

In 1989 Glassman entered an agreement with [[Ben & Jerry's]], and Greyston Bakery has become the supplier of brownies for several lines of [[ice cream]].<ref name="egger">{{cite book |author=Robert Egger |author2=Howard Yoon |title=Begging for change : the dollars and sense of making nonprofits responsive, efficient, and rewarding for all |year=2004 |publisher=HarperBusiness |pages=[https://archive.org/details/beggingforchange00egge/page/136 136–137] |url=https://archive.org/details/beggingforchange00egge/page/136 |isbn=0-06-054171-7 }}</ref>

Through the success of his bakery–which in 2016 was earning $12 million in revenues–Glassman  founded the [[Greyston Foundation]] (sometimes called Greyston Mandala) with his wife Sandra Jishu Holmes in 1989. He retired from the Greyston Foundation in 1996 to pursue socially engaged Buddhist projects through the Zen Peacemakers.<ref name="lazarus">{{cite journal |url=http://www.newvillage.net/Journal/Issue1/1greyston.html |title=Recipes for Empowering Community Greyston, Mandala, Yonkers |author=Chris Lazarus | journal =New Village Journal | issue =1 |access-date=2010-12-14 }}</ref> As of 2004 the Foundation had developed $35 million worth in [[real estate]] development projects in [[Westchester County, New York]]. The Foundation offers [[HIV/AIDS]] programs, provides job training and housing, [[child care]] services, educational opportunities, and other endeavors.<ref name="garfinkel" /> In 2003 the bakery moved to a new building, which allows for higher output and more employment opportunities.<ref name="egger" /><ref>{{cite book |author=Mark Roseland |title=Toward sustainable communities : resources for citizens and their governments |year=2005 |publisher=New Society Publishers |page=[https://archive.org/details/towardsustainabl00rose_428/page/n256 173] | url=https://archive.org/details/towardsustainabl00rose_428|url-access=limited |isbn=0-86571-535-1 }}</ref>

In 1996, Glassman, with his wife Sandra Jishu Holmes, founded the Zen Peacemaker Order. According to professor Christopher S. Queen, "The order is based on three principles: plunging into the unknown, bearing witness to the pain and joy of the world, and a commitment to heal oneself and the world."<ref name="queen2"/> Richard Hughes Seager writes, "The Zen Peacemaker Order...has the potential to rival [[Thich Nhat Hanh]]'s groups and the [[Buddhist Peace Fellowship]] as a force in American activism."<ref name="seager">{{cite book |author=Richard Hughes Seager |title=Buddhism in America |year=1999 |publisher=Columbia University Press |page=[https://archive.org/details/buddhismamericac00seag/page/n229 209] | url=https://archive.org/details/buddhismamericac00seag|url-access=limited |isbn=0-231-10868-0 }}</ref>

In 2012, Bernie Glassman founded The Stone Soup Cafe in Greenfield, MA (originally the "Let All Eat Cafe" in Montague, MA) together with Academy-Award-winning actor [[Jeff Bridges]], his Zen student.<ref>{{Cite news |title=I used to eat at soup kitchens to survive. Now as a volunteer, I see it from the other side. |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2021/11/22/thanksgiving-volunteer-soup-kitchen-kressy/ |access-date=2023-07-17 |newspaper=The Washington Post}}</ref> Bernie and Jeff were really into making people feel welcome and providing access to dignified treatment and making their meal experience one where they felt cared for, not rushed, and fed body, mind, and soul. The Stone Soup Cafe is inspired by the [[Zen Peacemakers]]' three tenets, which are to start with a mind of not knowing, letting go of fixed ideas so that you can bear witness to the joy and suffering around you, and then to do the actions that come out of that bearing witness. The Stone Soup Café still operates today as a Pay-What-You-Can Café - a mixed-income restaurant experience that brings people together, bridging across differences.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://thestonesoupcafe.org/p/36/Caf-History|title=Café History|website=Stone Soup Cafe}}</ref>

Glassman died on November 4, 2018, from complications of a [[stroke]] in [[Springfield, Massachusetts]] at the age of 79.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://tricycle.org/trikedaily/bernie-glassman-dies/|title=Roshi Bernie Glassman Passes Away|first=Matthew|last=Abrahams|date=November 5, 2018|website=Tricycle: The Buddhist Review}}</ref>

==Teachings==
[[File:Elihu Genmyo Smith & Bernard Glassman.jpg|thumb|Bernie Glassman with Elihu Genmyo Smith]]
Glassman taught about what his teacher, the late [[Taizan Maezumi]], called the "unknowing." Not-knowing is the first tenet of the Zen Peacemakers, and Glassman said of it, "In Zen the words source and essence are the equivalent of Unknowing, and they come up again and again. We have the absolute and the relative perspectives about life, and Unknowing is the one source of both of these."<ref name="queen2"/> Also, Glassman was known for his many "street retreats." Author [[James Ishmael Ford]] writes, "...'street retreats,' for instance, moves [[sesshin]] into the streets: participants eat in [[soup kitchen]]s, and, if they know they're not displacing homeless people, sleep in homeless shelters or, otherwise, sleep in public places. [[Zazen]] takes place in parks."<ref name="ford"/> In the 2000s, Glassman developed an experiment in sociocratic consensus-based zen training and interfaith facilitation, known initially as [[Peacemaker Circle International]]<ref>[http://www.peacemakercircles.org Peacemaker Circle International] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181122132348/https://peacemakercircles.org/ |date=2018-11-22 }}</ref><ref>Eve Marko, in Women Practicing Buddhism: American Experiences by Peter Gregory and Susanne Mrozik (1998, Wisdom Books US), p114</ref> and later Zen Peacemaker Circles.
