Retreat
Zen Master Seungh Sahn
We practice Zen meditation according to the instructions of Zen Master Seungh Sahn, the founder of the Kwan Um Zen School.
In 1949, he received transmission from Zen Master Ko Bong, one of the most brilliant Zen Masters in Korea at that time.
Later, he became responsible for various temples in Korea, Hong Kong, and Japan. In 1972, he founded the Kwan Um Zen School in the United States to offer Zen training to lay people and monks in the West.
Today, the Kwan Um Zen School is present with a large number of Zen Centers and groups in Europe, the United States, Asia, South Africa, and Australia.
