ANNOUNCEMENT: Our 2022 TREELEAF Home-Leaving ORDINATIONS of Koushi, Onkai and Nengei
And a wonderful time to be reviewing this paragraph:
It is to volunteer and offer oneself as the lowest ‘sailor on the ship’ at the beck and call of the passengers' well-being and needs, a nurse to the suffering, a brother or sister supporting a family, a friend offering to help carry a burden. One must be committed sincerely to serve and benefit others, and one must not undertake such road for one’s own benefit, praise or reward.
I want to offer acknowledgment and gratitude for everyone's words of encouragement and congratulations.
Nothing, however, has been achieved or attained.
We offer ourselves to the service of your practice, and continue to learn from our precious Sangha.
Gassho,
然芸 Nengei
Sat today. LAH.
