Practice with cats sounds wonderful [emoji75]
Fasting practice sounds difficult (especially 50 days!!)

But we practice beyond wonderful and difficult. [emoji120]

Hmmm. Fasting Sesshin. I have not heard of this so common in Soto Zen. Something particular to that Teacher or place?

Of course, fasting has a place in many religions and spiritual practices around the world.

Hi K,

You mean that his Soto temple was, centuries ago, a Shingon Buddhist temple? That is actually very common as temples converted a long time ago. (Shingon Buddhism is old school of esoteric Buddhism in Japan)

Or, do you mean that Rev. Sasagawa is both Soto priest and Shingon priest? I don't think you mean that, because it is not common at all.

Note: "Sodo" (literally "Monk's Hall"僧堂) means main Training Monastery.

Why are you sorry???? Probably too direct translation from always apologetic Japanese language.
