“Modern Zen training offers a matrix within which to evaluate the way one tradition of Zen understands—and puts into practice—the doctrines and teachings of its religion. While Zen training in Korea will differ in certain respects from that followed by the patriarchs and ancient masters of classical Ch'an in China or by Zen monks in Japan, it is an authentic model of how the monks of one national tradition of Zen have tackled "the practical matter of how to live with [their] belief.”
Robert E. Buswell Jr., The Zen Monastic Experience

Sohn Won-Pyung
“We have to be tougher in this tough world.”
Won-pyung Sohn, Almond
