About the Ceremonies:
🪷 Two Inka Ceremonies (Saturday, May 16th 2026)
During the Inka ceremony the candidates are tested by the Sangha during a Dharma Combat. After successful completion they will give a formal Dharma talk, and become Dharma Masters (Ji Do Poep Sa Nim) in the Kwan Um School of Zen.
🪷 Transmission Ceremony (Sunday, May 17th 2026)
We are honored to announce that Zen Master Bon Shim will give Transmission to her Dharma successor Arne Schaefer JDPSN.
During the Transmission Ceremony, the new Zen Master will
🪷 engage in a short Dharma exchange
🪷 give a formal Dharma talk
🪷 receive a new name
🪷 become a successor in Zen Master Seung Sahn’s lineage
Beyond the formal ceremonies, this weekend is a precious chance for our Sangha to simply be together.
Between the events, we will have ample space for informal gathering—to share tea, catch up with old friends, and meet new practitioners.
We look forward to celebrating, laughing, and sitting together as one community.
🙏 Please join us for this special occasion and share in this moment of deep gratitude and inspiration.
