Sante Poromaa Sensei has been practising Zen since the early eighties, and teaching full time for over a decade. He started practice as a student of Roshi Philip Kapleau, author of "The Three Pillars of Zen", and he later became a student of Kapleau's successor, Roshi Bodhin Kjolhede.
He has received formal permission to teach in this lineage, and their Zen teaching draws strongly on the Japanese tradition, but without slavish adherence to forms that may be inappropriate in a European context. Over the years, his style has evolved as he seeks to ensure that the valuable practices of this ancient tradition are both preserved and made accessible and relevant to modern people. His approach is above all an experiential one -- the student is encouraged to explore the nature of reality first hand, through practice. Yet he also draw on the rich literature of Zen, including three major koan collections (The Mumonkan, The Blue Cliff Record, and the Book of Serenity), Buddhist sutras and the writings of the great Zen Masters. He has also read widely in other traditions and disciplines and their teishos (lectures given to students) can range over subjects as diverse as physics, consumerism, climate change and parenthood. He is active in the contemporary intellectual and cultural life of Sweden, participating in public panel discussions and advisory groups, originally trained as artists. Sante Sensei has published a book on the common ground between science and Buddhism, The Net of Indra. - from http://www.zentraining.org
