One-Day Retreat (hybrid) with Zen Master Ji Kwang - Saturday, April 1, 2023.

Teacher: ZM Ji Kwang

Start: 07:00

End: 16:00

Retreats allow us to deepen our practice and come back to our breath. We look through our habitual thought patterns and find the source of our deepest wisdom and goodness.

This time we welcome ZM Ji Kwang (Berlin Zen Center) as the teacher of this short retreat at the Vienna zen Center: We are looking forward to your coming in person, but of course, it will also be possible to participate via Zoom. Please register soon so that we can plan!

Beginners are warmly welcome!

Zen Master Ji Kwang (Dr. Roland Wöhrle-Chon) was born in Germany in 1960. He studied philosophy and psychology in Bonn, Berlin and Madurai (India), where he had his first contact with yoga and meditation.

Zen Master Ji Kwang holds a doctorate in psychology and works as a social scientist for the German government. He is married and has two children. Together with his wife, Zen Master Gu Ja, he founded the Zen Center Berlin and the Kwan Um Zen School Germany in 1990. In February 2000, he received Inka (teaching permission), and in April 2012, he received transmission from Zen Master Wu Bong.
