Amon was born in 1963 in Jerusalem.

He was ordained in Korea by Zen-Master Seung Sahn at the Hwa Gye Monastery, with the designation of monk and Meditation Teacher.

Later he traveled to Japan, and studied with G.W. Nishijima, a Soto Zen-Master, from which he received a Dharma Transmission and got his Zen-Master title.

As a wandering monk, he was also trained in the Forest Monasteries of Thailand and in Tibetan Monasteries in India and Nepal.

In Puna, India, he taught Zen Practices at the famous Osho Center, where he was exposed to a revolutionary approach to heal emotional wounds, a tool that is used to achieve inner balance.

In Tel-Aviv he established ”The Faculty for High Consciousness” at the “Medi-Cin” College, and taught there for six years.

Nissim Amon has since published three books and released two CD’s of world meditation music, and a CD of guided meditation.
