Two Inka Ceremonies

Saturday, May 16th 2026

During the Inka ceremony the candidates are tested by the Sangha during a Dharma Combat. After successful completion they will give a formal Dharma talk, and become Dharma Masters (Ji Do Poep Sa Nim) in the Kwan Um School of Zen.

A Time for Connection

Beyond the formal ceremonies, this weekend is a precious chance for our Sangha to simply be together.

Between the events, we will have ample space for informal gathering—to share tea, catch up with old friends, and meet new practitioners.

We look forward to celebrating, laughing, and sitting together as one community.
