Zen And Mindfulness

[Ijustwannateach]

Are there any teachers/monks/centres preferably near Bangkok that specialise in any Zen approaches to Buddhism or meditation? I'd be especially interested in 'mindfulness' as a discipline.

From the E-sangha forum (http://www.lioncity.net/buddhism/index.php?showtopic=51011&hl=zen+bangkok) Post #5.

THERE IS A ZEN temple in Bangkok! It is run by the Chung Tai Chan. The website is http://www.ctworld.org/108/GreatBuddha/index.htm and let me tell you, this order (school/group/lineage) is great.

Unfortunately, the website is in Chinese. You can ask someone to translate the website for you. Rest assured, though, that the monks can speak English.

Also from E-sangha:

The poster, Dhammananda Bhikkhu, advises contact:
