The teacher of my teacher's teacher. We talked today about his practice in hospice -- a ceiling is as good as a wall -- and how "eyes horizontal, nose vertical" is true in any position one is constrained to. His patience, with no assumption of victimhood -- an example, an inspiration. _()_

Deepest bows to a great man and metta to all who'll miss him gassho1
I had a brief glimpse of Sojun Mel Weitsman's character and dedication to zen reading Zenkei Blanche Hartman's 'Seeds for a Boundless Life'.
