Helping Rev. Kobutsu Malone

[Jundo]

Hi,

If someone has a few extra bucks and feels it right, Adam at SweepingZen posted the following about Rev. Kobutsu Malone. Kobutsu was very instrumental in uncovering the terrible situations regarding the years of sexual abuse by Eido Shimano and Joshu Sasaki, and took much heat for that.

---------------

Kobutsu Malone, a person who has worked tirelessly to address ethical issues within the American Zen community with his Shimano Archives and Sasaki Archives, is in ailing health and needs the community's support. Kobutsu, who is indigent, recently returned from the hospital having had some heart attacks and stroke, something he is no stranger to.

He is having great difficulty completing everyday tasks like laundry, cleaning, cooking. I spoke with him last night and was greatly concerned with what I was seeing. He told me he spent hours converting a document in to PDF form, constantly forgetting what he was to do.

Kobutsu is in need of cleaning services and also needs help with paying for medicines. Your support will go a long way toward helping a real friend to us all. I may create a GoFundMe campaign on his behalf at some point but, for now, please visit his Engaged Zen Foundation website and make a contribution (PayPal link at bottom right). Thank you!

He is here in Maine - a couple of hours north. Jundo, how do I get in contact with him to volunteer some time helping him out at home?

Apologies for I am confused. I went to link and saw no PayPal donation for Kobutsu. What do I need to do to get to the right place?

Hi Randy,

If you scroll all the way to the bottom of this page, there is a DONATE tab. My understanding is that, right now, the foundation is Kobutsu.
