The Nine Mountains Sangha is a welcoming community of practitioners who meet online every Sunday. We sit in meditation together, chant, learn and teach. The class is led by Matthew Juksan Sullivan, a Zen Master ordained in the lineage of the Venerable Hwasun Yangil Sunim of the Awakened Meditation Centre and the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism.

Our online classes are open to newcomers and experienced meditators. Although the Sangha is based in Toronto, Ontario, we have regular members from across North America. If you want to learn more about joining the sangha, click here.

Sitting meditation lies at the heart of what we do. As Yangil Sunim has taught, “Zen Meditation helps you quiet your mind. It gives you access to the wisdom, compassion and happiness that flow naturally through a deep interconnectedness of things.”
