A very nice find!

I have a question. At one point, someone asks Nishijima Roshi about whether he thinks the Japanese style of Soto is the 'best' way. Not his exact words but something like that. Roshi answers something like "no... I have been trying to find a better way to accomodate western audiences."

I can't seem to find the exact place in the video again. But if you know what part I'm talking about, Jundo, can you say anything about this or elaborate on what he meant?

Because I was just watching it, I can tell you that the reference is at the end of the second part beginning at 14:36. Gassho, Grace.

God is the universe. The universe is God. When people think He exists outside of the universe, then they blame Him.

Gassho, Grace.
