The way this website largely works is by relying upon Dharma heirs, priests, significant authors and academics to submit their own biography to the database. In some instances, where the teacher is deceased or is too important to wait on a submission, the website drafts an interim biography. Use the form below to give us all the information we'll need to include you in the database.
Feel free to replace or update your existing entry at any time.
Thank you for helping to increase the coverage of this invaulable resource!

About Sweeping Zen

Established in 2009 as a grassroots initiative, Sweeping Zen is a digital archive of information on Zen Buddhism. Featuring in-depth interviews, an extensive database of biographies, news, articles, podcasts, teacher blogs, events, directories and more, this site is dedicated to offering the public a range of views in the sphere of Zen Buddhist thought. We are also endeavoring to continue creating lineage charts for all Western Zen lines, doing our own small part in advancing historical documentation on this fabulous import of an ancient tradition. Come on in with a tea or coffee. You're always bound to find something new.
