Ko Bong Sunim
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ko Bong Sunim (1890-1962) was a prolific Korean Zen master, known for his spontaneity and eccentric teaching style, often refusing to admit monks into training. He served as Zen priest at Hwa Gye Sah Temple in Seoul, South Korea. Ko Bong was Dharma heir to Man Gong Sunim, who was Dharma heir to Kyong Ho Sunim. Ko Bong's most well known student is Seung Sahn Soen Sa, founder of the Kwan Um School of Zen. Seung Sahn is the only one to have received Dharma transmission from him. Sunim is a korean word that means buddhist monk. Ko Bong is the 77th korean buddhist patriarch in his lineage.
