Established 26 years ago by <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"129\">Zen Master Seung Sahn<\/b> to carry forward his teachings, Musangsa has become a global spiritual home. Over the years, thousands of people from all over the world have come here to practice together. At Musangsa, all four groups of the Buddhist community\u2014monks, nuns, laymen, and laywomen\u2014unite to understand their true selves and help others.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"5\">However, as our community grows, it has become difficult to accommodate all practitioners due to a lack of adequate public facilities and housing. To ensure the future of Zen Master Seung Sahn\u2019s teaching, we are constructing a new <b data-path-to-node=\"5\" data-index-in-node=\"231\">Meditation Hall and International Zen Center<\/b> to serve as a practice space for everyone.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%; border: 1px solid #cccccc;\" \/>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"7\">Project Overview<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">The New International Kwan Um Zen Center will be located in the ideal space behind Musangsa\u2019s current Buddha Hall and Zen Hall.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Total Site Area:<\/b> Approximately 13,000\u33a1 (139,930 ft\u00b2)<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Total Floor Space:<\/b> Approximately 1,480\u33a1 (15,930 ft\u00b2)<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Key Facilities Include:<\/b>\n<ul>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"9,2,1,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,2,1,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">New Zen Meditation Hall:<\/b> A dedicated space for intensive practice.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"9,2,1,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,2,1,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Modern Dormitories:<\/b> To house international practitioners.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"9,2,1,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,2,1,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Extended Kitchen &amp; Dining Hall:<\/b> To nourish our community and visitors.<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"9,2,1,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,2,1,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Zen Master\u2019s Quarters (Joshilchae):<\/b> Dedicated space for the Zen Master (Jo Shil Sunim) who devoted his life to Musangsa.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%; border: 1px solid #cccccc;\" \/>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"11\">Our Five Core Objectives<\/h2>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"12\">1. Enhancing the International Kyol Che Experience<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"13\">The new center will offer a more conducive environment for practitioners worldwide who participate in our intensive three-month Summer and Winter <b data-path-to-node=\"13\" data-index-in-node=\"146\">Kyol Che<\/b> programs. This dedicated space will allow for deeper focus and better support for our global Sangha.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"14\">2. Welcoming Short-Term Visitors During Retreats<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"15\">Currently, during Kyol Che, all facilities are occupied by retreat participants, making it nearly impossible to host short-term visitors. The new construction will allow us to use the existing Zen Hall and dormitories to host guests and casual practitioners even during intensive retreat seasons.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"16\">3. Expanding Our Temple Hospitality<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"17\">In keeping with Korean temple tradition, we offer lunch to all who visit. Currently, limited space means visitors must wait for retreat participants to finish their meals. An expanded kitchen and separate dining hall will allow visitors to enjoy lunch immediately after the <b data-path-to-node=\"17\" data-index-in-node=\"274\">Daily Rice Offering Kido<\/b>, ensuring a more welcoming experience for the public.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"18\">4. Supporting the Well-being of Our Monastics<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"19\">Our resident monks balance heavy administrative duties with intensive practice. The new facilities will allow monks to rotate between temple responsibilities and designated periods of intensive retreat, fostering a healthier balance and supporting the long-term growth of our monastic community.<\/p>\n<h3 data-path-to-node=\"20\">5. Honoring our Resident Zen Master (Jo Shil Sunim)<\/h3>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"21\">In recognition of our <b data-path-to-node=\"21\" data-index-in-node=\"22\">Jo Shil Sunim\u2019s<\/b> unwavering dedication to founding Musangsa and teaching practitioners for 26 years, we are constructing private living quarters. These quarters will ensure his well-being as he ages, enabling him to continue sharing his invaluable wisdom and teachings for many years to come.<\/p>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%; border: 1px solid #cccccc;\" \/>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"24\">Expected Construction Costs<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"25\">To provide full transparency to our Sangha, here is the breakdown of the investment required for this vision:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"26,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"26,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Foundation Engineering:<\/b> US$390,000<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"26,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"26,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Zen Meditation Hall &amp; Yosache:<\/b> US$2,950,000<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"26,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"26,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Kitchen &amp; Dining Hall:<\/b> US$770,000<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"26,3,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"26,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Installations &amp; Other Costs:<\/b> US$700,000<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"26,4,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"26,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Joshilchae (Zen Master\u2019s Quarters):<\/b> US$460,000<\/li>\n<li data-path-to-node=\"26,5,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"26,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Total Expected Cost: US$5,270,000<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr style=\"width: 100%; border: 1px solid #cccccc;\" \/>\n<h2 data-path-to-node=\"28\">Become a Part of Our History<\/h2>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"29\">We invite you to participate in the expansion of these facilities at Musangsa.
