Dear Roshi Thank you for offering to answer our questions. So much of our practice is shaped around a time honored monastic model. In these evolving times those of us with lay lives and more recently so many affected by Covid restrictions are left outside our practice communities. Now in 2020 and onward can you clarify our direct path to realizing our true nature and saving all beings. With deep gratitude. 9 bows

We humans have wisdom, and to bring this forth in my students, for this I lead a sesshin in September and October this year in Hokuozan. More than 50 people were able to join each time, and I am planning to go again in January, February, April, May, June, July and October. I am offering this chance for people to come and train. If there is a sangha who is doing a sesshin during the same dates, then we will let you join for the teishos via zoom during this time. If this applies to you, please get in contact with Hokuozan. Especially during these difficult times, we need to sit. Please use this chance offered. If there is any more particular question, please write to me via gmail.
