Zen Master Seung Sahn

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 of Zen, which now includes more than eighty centers and groups worldwide. His students called him Dae Soen Sa Nim, “Great Honored Zen Teacher,” and he was the 78th Zen master in his line of dharma transmission in the Chogye order of Korean Buddhism.
