Typically, a Zen Buddhist teacher is called "sensei" and a senior sensei is called "roshi." An ordained Zen priest who is sanctioned to teach typically changes his or her name to a dharma or Buddhist name. For example, the present abbot or spiritual leader of the Rochester Zen Center used to be named "Peter Kjolhede." He is now known as "The Venerable Bodhin Kjolhede, Roshi" or just "Roshi" to his students. Other sanghas do it slightly differently, so that "Charlotte Beck" becomes "Charlotte Joko Beck" or "John Loori" becomes "John Daido Loori." Sometimes those who are familiar with a teacher use that teacher's dharma name as opposed to using the more generic "sensei" or "roshi." There is no standard naming authority, and semantic inflation is a fact of life.
