    Zenshin Tim Buckley

    Dear all,

    Zenshin Tim Buckley passed away today. He was a mentor, teacher, and dear friend. My debt and gratitude to him are boundless, like the ocean.

    Life is for the living - as he would say with his wry grin, "nothing to see here!"

    He would wish us to practice with great urgency, "with our hair on fire."

    I have included a link to the piece Sweeping Zen has run on him.

    Deep bows
    Yugen

    ...

    Our hearts are with you, with Zenshin's family and his other Students and Friends.

    Whenever you wish as you feel right, Yugen, please consider to offer at Treeleaf a Memorial Service or Zazenkai, led by you, in Tim's honor and memory (I have some examples for Nishijima Roshi, Jiho Sargent and Azuma Roshi I can send you as examples, if they will help). Whatever you feel is appropriate.

    Endless Nine Bows for Zenshin, J

            Brother Yugen,

            We have already spoken on this matter privately, but I again extend my deepest condolences; I would be most humbled to be able to attend a memorial service for your friend and mentor.

            Gassho,

                  Please take my words with a big grain of salt. I know nothing. Wisdom is only found in our whole-hearted practice together.

                      Dear Yugen

                      I know how much Zenshin Tim meant to you and he was doubtless similarly loved by others in his sangha and his friends and family.

                      A sad loss for all.

                      Deep bows

                              Hi Yugen,

                              My most sincere condolences. I know what Tim means to you and to his students. I know he is loved and will be missed.

                              I only wish I could've met him.

                              Let me know if you need anything for the memorial service. In the meantime I'll sit for him, his family and his students.

                              Gassho and respect,

                              Kyonin
