Dae Soen Sa Nim
The Founding Teacher of our School is the Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn, who is called
Dae Soen Sa Nim (Great Honored Zen Teacher) by his students. He is the 78th Patriarch
in his line of Dharma Transmission in the Chogye order of Korean Buddhism, and has founded
temples in Japan and Hong Kong. In 1972 he came to the United States and started what became
the Providence Zen Center, the first center in what is now the Kwan Um School. |
