The White Plum Asanga
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
White Plum Asanga is a religious organization of peers whose members are leaders of Zen Communities in the lineage of Hakuyu Taizan Maezumi Roshi. The purpose of the organization is the exchange of information relating to the educational, religious and administrative programs of White Plum Zen communities. WPA is not a monitoring or disciplinary group.
The White Plum Lineage was established by Taizan Maezumi Roshi (1931-1995), one of the great pioneers of modern Zen, who opened up a unique tradition of Buddhist practice to a worldwide movement. As a successor in three different lineages of the Soto as well as the Rinzai school, he drew from an exceptionally rich background and expressed the teaching of the Buddha in a very broad and colorful way.
