Linda Huang is another awesome teacher in the Dharma Drum lineage (Ch'an). Her style is very Linji (chinese rinzai), pretty intense huatou and koan practice. Guo Gu is more Caodong style (chinese soto), with a focus on calm awareness of silent illumination practice (the chinese precursor to shikantaza).clyde wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 7:52 pmThose are two outstanding teachers, each in their respective sect, Guo Gu in Chan and Meido Moore Roshi in the Rinzai sect, but who would you recommend in the Soto sect?Matt J wrote: ↑Wed Apr 14, 2021 3:25 pm If you want a taste, you could check out videos of two teachers, who strike me as outstanding teachers their traditions:
