Chi Kwang studied Seon (Zen) meditation in Songgansa under the Zen master Kusan.[2] She also studied under Myongseong Sunim, Proctor of Unmun Sa Temple.[2]
Chi Kwang was ordained as a bhikkhunī in South Korea and is associated with the Lotus Lantern International Buddhist Centre in South Korea.[3] A bhikkhunī (Pali) or bhikṣuṇī (Sanskrit) is a fully ordained female monastic in Buddhism.[4]
In Blossoms of the Dharma: Living as a Buddhist Nun she writes that "the Korean bhikkhunis have established a systematic, effective way of training new nuns." This includes a novice period, sutra study schools and then meditation halls or other vocations.[5]
Chi Kwang is the chair of the Seon Centre in Kinglake.[1] She has been the chair of the Australian Sangha Association and the Buddhist Council of Victoria.[1][6] Chi Kwang is involved with intra-Buddhist and interfaith programs.[1][6]
