Curtosey of our friends over at Sweeping Zen, we are able to repost this link to their interview with Dae-il Sunim.
David Zuniga (Dae-il Sunim) is the first Westerner to be ordained as a priest in the Taego Order, the oldest lineage of Son (Korean Zen) Buddhism. He was ordained at Sonamsa Temple of Chogye Mountain, located in the South Cholla province in Sunchun. Sonamsa temple was built in 529 C.E. and is the main temple of the Taego lineage. When he was ordained, he was given the monastic name Dae-il Sunim. Dae-il in Korean means Vairochana Buddha (Sanskrit “He Who is Like the Sun”) and Sunim is the Korean word for “Bikkshu” or “ordained monk.” His has completed two practice periods in South Korea.
