Since 1999,
Still Water Zen Center has offered formal Zen Buddhist meditation practice,
training, and retreats. It is our
hope that we will be able to do so again in the future. At this time, there is no location where
we can offer regular practice.
Our resident
teacher is Honji Osho, Linda
Frank who founded Still Water Zen Center, and received Inka (authorization
to teach) from Zen Master Dae Gak in 2005. Honji is currently developing a rural retreat
center at the farm in Louisa
County VA,
where she lives.
Still Water is
affiliated with the Furnace Mountain Sangha in Kentucky. Zen Master Dae Gak, of Furnace Mountain,
regularly visits SWZC to lead retreats. He was given teaching transmission
by Korean Zen Master Seung Sahn in 1994 and has been practicing Zen for
over 30 years in both the Korean and Japanese traditions.
