Ko-un-ang (Hermitage of the Cloud of Light)


 

March 7, 1924 – November 29, 2022

“I live now, not I”

Our Mountains and Waters Community bows, with gratitude, to a great master in our Sanbo Zen lineage.

Sr. Elaine, our teacher’s teacher, was – is – light sitting in light.

Her life Way is an illumination of no-barriers: between East and West, Buddhism and Christianity, cushion and prison, stillness and action.

Her practice was – is – an expression of Total Identification.
