Taigu, teacher at Treeleaf Sangha, was born in 1964, started Zazen early and received Shukke Tokudo in 1983 at age 18 from Rev. Mokusho Zeisler of the Deshimaru Lineage. Received Dharma Transmission from Chodo Cross in 2002. Now resides in Osaka, Japan.
Wow what an excellent find!
Silk, purple robes, gold embroidery...but amazingly we've returned the basics.
Taigu, sincerely, thank you for bringing this practice to Treeleaf.
Deep bows,
Dokan
Thanks Taigu. Great. A naked clergy? How things could have been otherwise!
Gassho, with thanks for this work of scholarship.

Thank you, Taigu.
It's great study material for us newbies at sewing the kesa.

Rev. Taigu,
Thank you for this interesting article. I have always wondered how the robes of the Mahayana lineages evolved from those of the earlier orders.
To avoid all evil, to cultivate good, and to cleanse one's mind — this is the teaching of the Buddhas.
