The School began with the establishment of its international head temple, the Providence Zen Center, in 1972. Over the years, Zen Master Seung Sahn and his students have helped establish dozens of centers and groups around the world. Kwan Um means “perceive world sound,” to compassionately hear the cries of the universe. Mu Sang Sa, in South Korea, is the regional headquarters for the Kwan Um School in Asia. The heart of the Kwan Um School of Zen is the practice. Zen Master Seung Sahn very simply taught “Don’t Know”. This means, in each moment to open unconditionally to all that presents itself to us. By doing this, our innate wisdom and compassion will naturally breathe and flow into our lives. The School’s purpose is to make this practice of Zen as accessible as possible. It is our wish to help human beings find their true direction and vow and to save all beings from suffering. Our programs are open to anyone regardless of previous experience. https://kwanumzen.co.uk/our-teachers daily 0.75 2025-06-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f246fd3e28f7145ff16953/35f7c655-34b5-4b63-8098-a5c7a1c32fe7/DSSNim_big2.jpg Our Teachers - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61f246fd3e28f7145ff16953/45bba955-73dc-41eb-b71a-a1778cfa45d6/https___cdn.evbuc.com_images_142887523_143235689063_1_original.jfif Our Teachers - Zen Master Dae An - Guiding Teacher at the London Zen Centre Tobias Keene, D.D.S.
