Straight up, this is just one of the coolest things I've seen in a very long time. Hey Jundo, maybe you could do this at the next Zazenkai. It doesn't look too hard...

My husband found this and sent it to me a while ago. I'm into it. Thank you for posting it.

Please excuse any indication that I am trying to teach anything. I am a priest in training and have no qualifications or credentials to teach Zen practice or the Dharma. -
Thank you. It is great.
The priest's name is Yogetsu Akasaka. He is Soto. Apparently the story is that his father is a temple priest, and Yogetsu became a priest about 5 years ago to eventually take over the family temple. He spent time in Australia, the US and elsewhere. He has a bunch of recordings, most Buddhist themed.
Here is an interview in Japanese, but the machine translation is okay.
I think that this is his temple in Fukui Prefecture. Apparently, they like cats, and are famous for taking in and nursing sick strays.
Hmmm. He surely speaks English, so maybe I can invite him here for a Special Zazenkai/Concert? That would be a first. Let me mull that.

This makes me think of Kanho Yakushiji although Kanho is Rinzai.. But his rendition of Hannya Shingyo is phenomenal.Thank you. It is great.

Kanho is a really good singer. There are various versions of the Heart Sutra and he’s got various other sutras plus a few albums with his previous duo Kissaquo.
