The Mad Monk

Join us as we narrate Lewis Lancaster's journey with The Mad Monk Jung Kwang Sunim, one of the most controversial Buddhist figures (and renowned artists) of 20th Century Korea, amidst his practice of 'unlimited action zen'. Lancaster, a would-be student of Jung Kwang, was a professor of Buddhist Art & Studies at UC Berkley, who having been captivated by the art & calligraphy of Jung Kwang endeavored to meet and know his mind.  Jung Kwang invited him to join him in his life for a few weeks....and here is the story of their time together.
