More about the Mountain Path Sangha lineage:
Two Zen masters of modern Japan, Daiun Sogaku Harada (1870-1961) and Hakuun Ryoko Yasutani (1885-1973) established a new school of Zen Buddhism that combined what they believed were the strongest features of both the Soto and Rinzai sects. Philip Kapleau (Rochester Zen Center) and Robert Aitken (Diamond Sangha), two American students of Harada and Yasutani, were highly influential in bringing this lively and integral school of Zen to the West after training in Japan for many years. Hoag's teacher, Danan Michael Henry, is a Dharma heir of Philip Kapleau and also a sanctioned Diamond Sangha master under Robert Aitken. Hoag began studying with Danan Henry in 1994 at the Zen Center of Denver and received permission to teach in 2018.
