As is typical of our Sangha, the ceremony was conducted simultaneously in various places around the world ... dropping all thought of here and there, now and then ... with the Preceptor (Jundo) in Japan, and our Ordainee, Ralf Gido Kotei Prehn in Germany, all as witnessed by his fellow Priests and our Sangha members in many countries (thank you, Doshin, as our official Sangha witness ).

Please know that the warm hearts of everyone witnessing the ceremony from home are present with us during the Ceremony. You are with us all in this time of celebration. Here is a picture of some of our other Sangha witnesses, observing the proceedings ...

Many congratulations to you, Kotei! I am so happy to have another Dharma Brother along the Way. I wish I could be there live but I will be working diligently scrubbing doggies in the spirit of samu in honor of your ceremony. Many bows.

You will be there.
You have no choice, because I will hold you and the whole Sangha in my heart.

Will this be available online post-live like our weekly Zazenkai? I would love to attend but my family and home tenzo duties will likely not make it possible.

Yes, if the technology works (we have to string together some thngs), there should be a record.

See you there, any time.
