A Meaningful Opportunity to Practice Together
On May 2, we will gather as a sangha to offer appreciation for those who support Kwan Um Zen Online.
We are especially grateful that Zen Master Soeng Hyang (Bobby Rhodes), the head teacher of the Kwan Um School of Zen, will be joining this gathering, as this will be her first time teaching and practicing with the sangha since last fall.
Zen Master Soeng Hyang will offer a Dharma Talk with Q&A on “Dharma & Healing.”
We're very appreciative to also have Zen Master Bon Shim (Ola Porter), Zen Master Bon Hae (Judy Roitman), Zen Master Jok Um (Ken Kessel) and Zen Master Hyon Ja (Alma Potter) generously joining us for parts of the program.
This gathering is open to all of our supporters.
