September 27




With palms together,
Good Morning Everyone,

Tuesday comes. Rev. KoMyo arrived yesterday and we enjoyed several hours together before it was time to retire. Student Jeffery arrives late this evening (at 10:00 PM). Rev. Shoji, Student Ryugin, and Rev. Elliston arrive Wednesday.

Today we will proceed as usual with Zazen, Dokusan and Zen 101. Our class this evening will wrap up our study of The Eight Gates of Zen by Daido Loori-roshi. We will practice Zazen at 9:30 AM and again at 6:00 PM with Zen 101 at 7:00 PM. Rev. Soku Shin and I will be having a Peace Camp planning lunch at noon today with the new Director of Peace Village.

I would like to thank in advance Students Shelley Tenborin and Bonnie Hensan, Ino Joe DaiShugyo, Doan Kathryn Soku Shin and Tenzo Tamra for their assistance preparing and setting up our coming Thursday Gathering and Ohigan Sesshin.
