On Dharma Transmission

[Kokuu]

Dear sangha

This is a talk I recorded to talk about dharma transmission (Shiho) in Zen. Apologies for length as there was a fair amount of history to get into this one. Hopefully future talks will be shorter and more personal.

Thank you, Kokuu. That was lovely; I enjoyed listening to the history of this tradition. Many bows and deep gratitude to those who nurture and protect that precious flame, then and now.

Gassho,
Kotei sat/lah today.

I recognize you as all priests, and as one who has recognized that of you all have the status to run a Zendo and, finally my good friend Kokuu has transmitted to me Ubasoku as calm poetry, and I have learned so much of poetry as to remain calm even with my own wife and daughter, and you know I was granted teacher and poet by the University of Iowa, and Colorado State University, both fine universities, MA, EdS, MFA, that I recognized some time ago your scholarship in Buddhism as you taught me of the Lotus Sutra, and of which I have read of. As Ubasoku as best I learn and give teaching as an individual.
