Zen master enlightens crowd
By Cameron Heeg
Kansan staff writer
Everything's Zen.
It was at least for the approximately 75 people who attended a speech given by KU graduate and Zen master Dae Kwang last night at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread Ave.
Kwang, who graduated from KU in 1972 with a master's degree in sociology, has devoted the past 20 years of his life to the practicing and teaching of Zen in the American West and Asia.
"There is a lot of suffering in the world and the main source of that suffering is that humans don't understand themselves," Kwang said. "Humans do all kind of harm to themselves, their family, and to the earth. Zen help people be free from pain and suffering."
Zen originally developed about 500 B.C. out of the teachings of Siddhartha Guatama. As a prince in India, he became troubled with the pain and suffering he saw and gave up his title to seek understanding and peace.
The American Heritage Dictionary defines Zen as a school of Buddhism which says enlightenment can be attained through meditation.
Kwang and John Staples, a member of the Kansas Zen Center, defined Zen as a way to understand yourself completely through meditation and self-examination, taking that understanding and helping the world suffer less.
"I have heard that it is a great way to relieve stress and find out what you really want out of life," said Sarah Cane, Lawrence resident.
The Kansas Zen Center suggests that people interested in Zen should try to incorporate these five precepts into their life:
■ abstain from taking things not given
A person should vow to abstain from taking life
abstain from lying

abstain from taking excessive amounts of intoxicants
abstain from misconduct done in lust.
"We spend our life full of opinions and full of judgments about ourselves, the world and other people," Staples said. "What comes from this is that we make people different, so there are wars and suffering for people brought on by their own kind.
Dennis Duermeier (left), head Dharma teacher at the Kansas Zen Center, is a long time friend and traveling companion of Zen Master Dae Kwang (right). Kwang has been traveling through Asia and Western America in the past 20 years, spreading the teachings of Zen through the International Kwan Um School of Zen.
We want that to change and Zen is a good way to get there."

Student Environmental Action Coalition expands traditional view of group agenda
By Dave Breitenstein Kansan staff writer
The local chapter of the Student Environmental Action Coalition is educating KU students about the Haskell Wetlands and South Lawrence Trafficway while the national chapter is falling apart.
"We want to expand the traditional definition of environmentalism," said Terry Huerter, Quivera junior and regional contact person for the coalition. "We're including more social justice issues this year, like racism and sexism."
Huerter said the coalition incorporates human rights issues into its agenda because it is trying to fight human racism as well as environmental racism, which the group calls the problem of people not doing their part to protect the environment.
"We're trying to expand and enlighten people that environmental issues do not just deal with ecology," he said. "Issues of race, class and gender are all tied together. You can't be productive battling just one; you have to battle all of them."
The environmental issues that the coalition supports are saving the rain forests, recycling, reducing consumption and requesting energy efficiency standards. It also sponsors voter registration drives in hopes to elect environmentally-conscious politicians.
Together with KU Environs, the coalition distributes pamphlets and discusses Haskell Wetland and the South Lawrence Trafficway weekly in the lobby of the Kansas Union.
KU Environics coordinates the coalition's activities in Kansas, Iowa, Missouri and Nebraska, which is one of 17 regions. The national coalition
was founded in 1989 an advertisement in Greenpeace magazine.
More than 2,000 student groups, ranging from college organizations to small high school groups, belong to the coalition. By paying yearly fees of at least $35, groups receive Threshold magazine, which contains general information about the coalition, environmental issues and events. Paying the dues also allows access to resource libraries, training programs and conferences.
"SEAC is currently the largest national student group on all issues," Hueller said. "It has made a lot of people see the bigger picture on environmentalism."
However, the national chapter is experiencing financial and organizational difficulties. Only one person remains on the national coordinating committee after a rash of resignations. The October issue of
Threshold cites a lack of a clearly defined purpose as a reason for disarray. The organization may have suffered from trying to work with too many issues.
The coalition' annual budget is $300,000, which comes from group dues and foundation donations.
The group wants a wider body of active students to evaluate past failures and successes. A national office to coordinate regional activities also is high on the coalition's wish list. The latest issue of Threshold may be the last because there's not enough money to produce it. Articles in the magazines warn that the organization may dissolve soon.
The coalition meets in conjunction with KU Environs at 6 p.m. on Tuesday at the Walnut Room in the Kansas Union.
