Ton Lathouwers (1932) is one of the most liberal Zen teachers in Europe. From 1968 until 1996 he was Professor of Slavic Literature. Shortly after receiving this appointment, he began his Zen way. He visited Japan, Thailand, Burma and Indonesia, among others. In Indonesia he dedicated himself to the study of Chinese Zen (Chan), guided by the Chan master Teh Cheng, from whom he received transmission in 1987.
