About the Author

Kusan Sunim first turned to Buddhism at twenty-eight when, faced with a serious illness, he was struck by life's impermanence. He studied under Master Hyobong, one of the most celebrated Korean monks of the century. After seven years of hard training, he was certified a Zen master; after four more, he was granted the transmission from his teacher. From that time he was active in the Korean Buddhist community, serving as abbot of the Tonghwa Monastery and Chief Inspector at the National Sangha Headquarters. His efforts to introduce Korean Buddhism to the West led to the founding of temples in California and Geneva, Switzerland.

Martine Batchelor began her study under Master Kusan in 1975, receiving ordination as a nun in 1978 and serving as Master Kusan's assistant and interpreter in his international travels.

Stephen Batchelor, a monk, translator, and student of Tibetan Buddhism, also studied with Master Kusan for several years. He has published Alone With Others- An Existential Approach to Buddhism and Echoes of Voidness.

Reviews

"I highly recommend this wonderful book which affords us a 'bird's-eye' view into the teachings of Korean Zen Master Kusan Sunim. The teachings are concise yet comprehensive. A welcome addition to the growing body of writing on Korean Zen."—Richard Shrobe (Zen Master Wu Kwang), Guiding Teacher, Chogye International Zen Center of New York

"A modern Zen classic with deep roots in the oldest traditions of Korean and Chinese Buddhism. Kusan roars like a lion."—Stanley Lombardo
