MEMBERS AREA
Hakuyu Taizan Maezumi, Roshi (1931-1995) established the White Plum Asanga in the late 1970s, opening up a unique tradition of Buddhist practice to a worldwide movement.
Maezumi Roshi received Dharma transmission from Baian Hakujun in the Soto lineage. He also received Inka in both the Shakyamuni Kai, through Koryu Roshi, and in the San Bo Kyo Dan (Three Treasures school) through Yasutani Roshi.
He drew from an exceptionally rich background and expressed the teaching of the Buddha in a very broad and colorful way.
The teachers and practice centers listed on this site represent the vision of Maezumi Roshi.

you should be, but in the
One that you are.
