White Wind Zen Communityis the Sangha of students ofVen. Anzan Hoshin roshi. The Community was founded in 1985 and has several aspects: the Northern Mountain Order which is the monastic core of the community, and the lay community of formal, general, associate and public students.In 1985, when Zen Master Anzan Hoshin was asked to name the Sangha of students who had gathered around him, he named this community White Wind Zazenkai (Hakukaze Zazenkai), after the monastery named Hakukaze-ji that his own teacherJoshu Dainen zenjihad founded and the name of the stream of Dogen's Lineage of Zen that he had inherited and has now passed on.Zazenkai means "gathering together for zazen." The Zazenkai was renamed White Wind Zen Community in 1989 and is now based in the Zen Centre of Ottawa. It has branch centres in Guelph (Ontario), Wolfville (Nova Scotia), and Harrow (England), as well as public students practising individually around the world.
