The “Dharma Cloud Lineage” comes through Dharma Rain’s founders, Gyokuko and Kyogen, and their teacher Roshi Kennett. They all had the family Dharma name “Houn” which means “cloud.”
The current sanghas of the Dharma Cloud Family Lineage include Dharma Rain Zen Center, Bright Way Zen, Flowing Field Zendo, Pendleton Sitting Group, Rose Villa Sitting Group, Wy’East Zen Center, and Zen West/Empty Field Zendo.
