Template:Clone2Template:Vetted Template:Infobox religious biography P'arang Geri Larkin, born Geraldine Kapp Willis, is founder and former head teacher of Still Point Zen Buddhist Temple, a Korean Chogye center in Detroit, Michigan.[1] The name Geri Larkin is a pen name. She graduated from Barnard College in 1973.[2] Larkin, daughter of a wealthy IBM executive, left her successful business life as a management consultant to enter a Buddhist seminary for three years, where she was ordained. When she left she sold her material possessions and bought a brick duplex in downtown Detroit which, with the help of local residents she cleaned up and turned into Still Point. Larkin's articulation of the concept of "right livelihood" was highly influential on Ann Perrault and Jackie Victor, two of her students who founded Avalon International Breads in Detroit in 1997.[3] She has been a longtime columnist for Spirituality & Health magazine.[4]
She currently resides in Eugene, Oregon.
