Daizan is my second Dharma name. It speaks of a mountain, and the way of beauty. My first Dharma name (received in the Korean Zen tradition) was Kojip. My teacher at the time said it meant Four Noble Truths, but when I told it to Korean people they always had a bemused look on their faces, as if to say "oh sure....the four noble truths". Only years later did I ask someone to explain that response. Kojip in Korean means roughly... a blinkered stubborn ass. Now I prefer the new Dharma name... that's how I like to see myself, but the first one is also right on the mark. C'est le vie.
