Winter 1 Day Meditation Retreat @ Woo Ju Library

David Listen has been studying and practicing Chan/Zen meditation for over 10 years.  During these years of training, he simultaneously has gained extensive experience in teaching meditation classes and leading meditation retreats. Previously known as Venerable Chang Wen (常聞) in a well-known Buddhist organization, Dharma Drum Mountain, he was one of the few western monastic disciples of Chan Master Sheng Yen. He had been a monk for over a decade, and has since returned to lay life to share Buddhism in a more engaged way.
