Saturday Community - ONLINE

Thank you for your ongoing support. To sustain SMZC, please donate $10 (suggested) for the Saturday Community program.

Student talk will be given by Kaian (海安) John Jennings, senior student of Kwong-roshi and ordained priest. In the spring of 2002, Kaian came to Sonoma Mountain and become a student of Kwong-roshi. In 2007 he received the precepts from Kwong-roshi. In 2008 he served as Shuso (head student) for the Winter Ango. In 2012 he was ordained as a priest. He lives on Cobb Mountain in Lake County, California with his wife, Lia, his 3 grown children, and 9 grandchildren—not in the same house but within a few miles of each other. He has co-facilitated meditation at Harbin Hot Springs in Middletown, CA. He is an artist and musician and active in both capacities in his community.
