“What does awakening look like? And to whom does it apply -- to human beings, to all sentient beings, to the cosmos? To none, or to all of the above? Calling the earth to witness, I would suggest, is where the work begins. This is where we give our full attention, without the intervening clouds of popular opinion and politicized verbiage. Then what? That is the creative, visionary work that lies before us all.”
- Zen Master Jeong Ji/Anita Feng
Zen Master Jeong Ji brings her perspective as an artist to her practice and teaching. She describes her approach to art, especially pottery, as mirroring her approach to Zen practice: combining technique with the artistry of not knowing, being open to what appears. While she makes beautiful raku Buddhas for her business Golden Wind Raku, she continues to write poems and stories infused with Zen. Read More at NW Dharma News article as well as her website, at which you’ll find links to her books, sculpture, and Zen.
Blue Heron Zen Community (BHZC) is a lay community and residential center in the lineage of Zen Master Seung Sahn, the first Korean Zen Master to live and teach in the West. BHZC is a successor organization to Dharma Sound Zen Center of the Kwan Um School which was founded by Zen Master Seung Sahn in 1980. In 2006, BHZC became part of the independent Golden Wind Zen Order, which extended to the next generation by their current guiding teacher, Zen Master Jeong Ji. The Blue Heron Zen Center is a beautiful residential house located in North Seattle.
