Ama Samy

Zen master Ama Samy was authorized to teach Zen by Yamada Koun Roshi in 1982. His method of teaching embraces both Soto and Rinzai Zen traditions and draws from the resources of Christianity and other religions. He lives and teaches at Kanzeon Zendo in India and spends several months each year leading retreats in Europe, Australia and the US. With the help of his students, he runs Little Flower, a non-profit organization supporting women, children and landless people in southern India.
