Zen Master Dae Gak, Guiding Teacher

"Find your original job and do it impeccably. Never give up. While failure is possible, there is nothing that cannot be transmuted. Our mistakes are our teachers and our alchemy is in our heart’s blood. Our breath is our point of entry to truth. It is with us always, as us, as all of creation. Find the breath in everything."

Zen Master Dae Gak is the Founder, Abbot, and Guiding Teacher of Furnace Mountain and its affiliate centers. He received Inka (permission to teach) in 1986 and final Dharma transmission from Zen Master Seung Sahn in 1994.

He has directed his life toward supporting others to realize their original nature of fearless immediacy and unbounded compassion, following the clear teaching of the Zen Ancestors, and his own realization that the practice of spiritual inquiry cannot be fixed, organized, or institutionalized.



Myo Wol Soen-sa, Resident Teacher

"Our practice of sitting quiet and still is the most mundane of human activities, and yet is difficult, beautiful, and beyond understanding. It is life itself, apparent and available as direct experience, everywhere, always. Awakening to this is the greatest gift we can offer ourselves, each other, and this troubled world."


Myo Wol Soen-sa (Mark Delmar Davis) is a lay-practitioner, a married father of three grown sons, working as a wellness coach, entrepreneur, and musician.

He has studied with Zen Master Dae Gak since the inception of the CZC in 1994. In 2008 he received Inka, becoming Resident Teacher. His interest is the activity of manifesting original nature right in the midst of the challenge, heartbreak, and unbounded joy of daily life.
