Egmund Sommer first became interested in Zen Buddhism in the late sixties in Denmark. He went to Ryutaku-ji in Japan, where he met Soen Nakagawa. Later he became a student of Soen's successor, Eido Shimano. Egmund was ordained as a Rinzai Zen Buddhist priest on July 4, 1980 and received Dharma transmission from Eido in 2002.[1][2][3]
Egmund later broke with Eido Shimano and became an independent teacher.
Egmund is a member of the American Zen Teachers Association.[4]
