Bussho Lahn

Busshō Lahn is a Zen student and teacher, and the guiding teacher of Flying Cloud Zen Spiritual Practice Community. He’s also a popular speaker, retreat leader, spiritual director, author, and a Senior Priest at Minnesota Zen Meditation Center.

He first came to Soto Zen Buddhism in 1993, was ordained as a novice in 2009, and received Dharma Transmission (authorization to carry the lineage and teach independently) in 2015. Busshō remains rooted in his Zen tradition but cultivates an openness to the beauty and wisdom of other faiths.

His first Zen book, Singing and Dancing are the Voice of the Law, was published in early 2023 by Monkfish Publications in New York, and was a Book of the Year Award finalist (ForeWord Reviews; nonfiction religion).
