Venerable Chi Kwan Sunim is the Abbess of The Seon (Zen) Centre in Victoria. She was a founding member Wat Buddha Dhamma, The Buddhist Library in Sydney, The Lotus Lantern International Buddhist Centre in Seoul, and Chonghye SA Seon Centre now located in Kinglake. Along with her development of the Seon Centre, she is involved in the educating, fund raising and growth of the first Buddhist Palliative Care Centre in South Korea. She was a special guest at the Global Buddhist Conference here in Perth in 2006 and the clarity of her teachings left people inspired. (It is the Rains Retreat now, a time when all our own monks and nuns go on 3 months retreat and stay at their respective monasteries as much as possible. We still have the normal Friday evening guided meditation and Dhamma talk - but given by a fascinating array of special guest teachers)
