Host
The host of the retreat will be Venerable XianAn, also known as 'HyunAn Sunim' in Korea. She is a member of the Bodhi Light International Buddhist sangha. She has been practicing Chan meditation since 2012 under the guidance of Master YongHua. Since then, she decided to dedicate her life to Mahayana Buddhism in her organization and became a Buddhist nun.
When Master YongHua offered a place in Korea for his Korean disciples, she returned to her home country and continued her practice. Currently, she is in one of the branch temples in Korea, actively spreading American Chan and Mahayana throughout the world. Additionally, she is an author in Korea and actively writes articles to help others.
