Hyon Gak Sunim is a modern Zen Master who was ordained over 30 years ago by the legendary Zen Master Seung Sahn of the Kwan Um School of Zen. An earth shattering insight of awakening was later confirmed by Zen Master Seung Sahn and in 2001 Sunim was publicly authorised to bring these teachings to the world.

 

Hyon Gak Sunim is a sought after teacher throughout South Korea, Asia and large parts of the West and is currently leading Zen Centre Regensburg, Germany.
