We are part of the Wild Goose Zen Sangha http://www.wildgoosesangha.org.uk/
founded by Fr. Patrick Kundo Eastman Roshi, an internationally accredited Zen teacher.
We are also part of the world wide White Plum Asanga, http://www.whiteplum.org/ an international affiliation of Zen teachers given Dharma transmission in a lineage begun by the Japanese Zen master, Taizan Maezumi. There are now over 150 teachers listed as members of the lineage in both the USA, Canada, and Europe.
Fr. Patrick Kundo Eastman received Dharma Transmission in the White Plum Asangha lineage from Robert Jinsen Kennedy in 2009 and became a Roshi having received Inka in 2015.
Now in his 80s, Kundo Roshi has passed on the direction of the Wild Goose Zen Sangha in 2020 to Christopher Ryushin Collingwood Roshi, who is also the teacher of the York Zen Group. Although Kundo Roshi has stepped back from active leadership of the Sangha, he was still a much-loved and wise guiding presence for the whole Sangha, always available for anyone who wished to be in touch with him. Sadly he died peacefully in his sleep on the 6th of September 2023 at the age of 85 ,he will be hugely missed by so many.
We are delighted to support people of any or no religious background in their Zen practice
