    Lovely!

    Let me also take this opportunity to introduce some of Nishijima Roshi's other Dharma Kids in Europe. Many actually are kind of rebels who broke off from the Deshimaru Lineage when they felt it was becoming a bit too formal and churchy in its connection to Soto-shu, so they tend to be rather independent types. Like here. There are other good folks among Nishijima's students whom i don't know so well, but the following are well worth a visit if you ever are nearby.

    in France ...

    Jiun Éric Rommelučre is the founder of Un Zen Occidental in Paris, He is a great modernizer:

    Lyon has Jean-Marc Bazy, a great fellow ...

    http://dogensangha.fr/index/



    My good friend Fr. Gustav Ericsson is also a priest in the Lutheran Church of Sweden. He visited Treeleaf Japan a couple of times ...



    https://www.amazon.co.jp/Christian-J.../dp/1503226786

    Yudo Seggelke is in Germany ...

    http://yudoseggelke.de/

    ... as is Gabriele Linnneback in Dresden, who translated Shobogenzo into German with Nishijima Roshi ...

    http://zen-dojo-dresden.de/lehrerin.html

    Dagmar Doko Waskoenig is in Germany and Austria, and is a very interesting teacher who is very serious about the Vinaya, and became a full Vinaya nun ...

    https://www.shobogendo.de/meditation/#meister

    Here appears to be a TV profile about her and her Sangha ... she has such graceful movements and form ...



    I will think of more. They are very spread around, such as this group in Spain connected to Yudo i believe.



    Of course, there is Taigu and his students at the Blue Mountain White Clouds Hermitage ....

    Hi Kakunen,

    You say ...

    Sowing the seeds of Zen

    Am I the only Japanese person here?

    How about respecting Japan and the Japanese who created the trigger for this a little more?
    You may be the only Japanese member right now. Folks in Japan have plenty of opportunity to engage in Zen in Japanese language, online and offline.

    Actually, Zen came from India and China, Korea and Japan, then moved on to the Americas, Europe and other places. In fact, Zen comes from the universe and Big Bang and maybe beyond that!

    However, we do respect and honor Japanese Zen and Japanese culture! So much of what we do comes from and honors Japanese traditions, such as Oryoki and Master Dogen. It is interesting, because sometimes people criticize our Sangha for being TOO Japanese! Some Zen groups, like many of the Deshimaru Lineage groups in Japan, are trying to be very very Japanese (I sometimes say "more Japanese than the Japanese"), and that is good for them! All good.

    Maybe it is like pizza. Japanese people now eat interesting pizza that looks and tastes like this, without consulting either Italians or Americans. However, it is very delicious to Japanese people (and to many non-Japanese too) and nutritious, so that is enough.

    たぶんそれはピザのようです。日本人は今、イタリア人やアメリカ人のどちらにも相談することなく、このよう な外観と味の興味深いピザを食べます。しかし、それは日本人にとって非常に美味しく(そして多くの外国人に とっても)栄養価が高いので、それで十分です。

    I think I don’t need to practice so hard.
    I just try to accept truth.
