    Dear brothers,

    It was an honor to witness your ordination ceremony. But it's even a bigger honor to get to practice by your side.

    Congratulations and big hugs.

    Congratulations Shingen and Shugen. I was not able to witness your ceremony for a number of reasons, but even as I'm so new here and I don't know most of t he people here I feel a deep respect for people that choose to honestly devote their life to any spiritual path.

    Let me greet you both with a heartful gassho and wish you find blissful every step of your path.

    Hi Kirk,

    Well, we have this short introduction to each of our Priests and Novices. I need to get the two new fellows up there as soon as I can.

    I think they should have jerseys with numbers. Or just put numbers and their names on the backs of their robes. :-)

    Congratulations! I'd be curious to know, from all the unsui really, if you plan or see yourselves teaching far down the road? Or are some of you initially doing it more to just commit yourself more seriously to practice?
    Thanks,

    Hi Kaishin,

    I didn't want you to think you were being ignored. I've been thinking about your questions and I just can't come up with a "straight" answer. Like practice, it's not a static thing - sometimes it's one answer, sometimes it's something else. For me, it really is too early to tell for sure. I'm sorry my answer isn't more illuminating but it's the best I can come up with for now. I, of course, am only answering for my self.

    Hello Kaishin,

    For me I am can be a student one moment and at another, be a teacher. Each moment, each experience has the opportunity for both or just one. For me ... I am just walking this path and helping where and when I can ... nothing to attain ... and yet to embrace each moment as it is. =)
