The White Wind Zen Community is the Sangha of students practising under the direction of Ven. Anzan Hoshin roshi, his Dharma-successors Ven. Shikai Zuiko o-sensei and Ven. Jinmyo Renge osho-ajari, and the Practice Council at the Zen Centre of Ottawa (Honzan Dainen-ji) and its branch practice groups or centres and students around the world. The purpose of the Community is to provide a context in which the Transmission of the Complete Teachings, practice, and realization of the Way of Dogen's Lineage of Zen can take place. To this end, the Zen Community provides a comprehensive and integral format of practice that is structured so that each student may practise in a manner that is appropriate for him or her, from associate student to celibate monastic.
Es wird Buddhismus der Rinzai-Zen-Schule praktiziert. Die Übung wird in erster Linie von dem Bremer Zen-Meister Wolf-Dieter Nolting (Rei Shin Sensei) angeleitet. Er wurde 1988 von dem japanischen Zen-Meister Oi Saidan Roshi als sein Nachfolger in der Kette der Zen-Meister bestätigt.
