Chi Kwang studied Seon (Zen) meditation in Songgansa under the Zen master Kusan.[2] She also studied under Myongseong Sunim, Proctor of Unmun Sa Temple.[2]
Chi Kwang was ordained as a bhikkhunī (fully ordained female monastic) in South Korea and is associated with the Lotus Lantern International Buddhist Centre in South Korea.[3]
In Blossoms of the Dharma: Living as a Buddhist Nun she writes that "the Korean bhikkhunis have established a systematic, effective way of training new nuns." This includes a novice period, sutra study schools and then meditation halls or other vocations.[4]
In 1988 she returned to live in Australia but makes bi-annual trips back to South Korea.[2]
