About Me


My name is Andre Taesan Halaw. In 2016, I received Dharma Transmission from my teacher, Zen Master Wonji Dharma.

I'm married, have two young children, and teach high school English in central New Jersey. 

I have written five books about contemplative practice, all available on Amazon: Neti-Neti Meditation, Brand-Name Zen, The Heart Sutra: A Meditation Manual, God is Nothingness, and No-Mind
