Being a novice priest doesn't mean my writing about the Dharma is more substantial than yours. Actually, it might well be the other way round.
Hey Kakunen!
Nice to see you again.

Thank you all.
Now I am at very dangerous situation,But I am at here.
I try to keep calm,now now now.
Please help me,and I try to help you.
Because we are all same human being.
When I can help you I try to help you.
I remember past time at Antaiji,at that time I feel I lose all things,family money house.
But I didn’t lose myself.
Now I am same situation at that time.
Nine bows.
Help other being.

どんな運命も比類ない。どんな状況も二度と繰り返されない。そしてそれぞれの状況ごとに、人間は異なる対応 を迫られる。誰もその人の身代わりになって苦しみを、とことん苦しむことはできない。この運命を引き当てた その人自身がこの苦しみを引き受けることに、ふたつとない何かをなしとげる、たった一度の可能性はあるのだ 。

All fates are unique. No situation is ever repeated. Thereby, human beings are forced to take different actions depending on each situation. No one can take his place as a substitute for the suffering of another. There is only one chance that the person who has assigned this fate can take on this suffering and do something unique.
Viktor Frankl is a psychiatrist and concentration camp survivor during WWll, who wrote "Man's Search for Meaning" on how finding meaning in terrible situations helps people survive.

I heard from Kakunen.
He found a monastery to take him in, so he won't be so isolated now. He'll have a roof over his head, a dry place to sleep and lots of Zazen time.

I will go to Myotoku-ji from this weekend.
We will start 7days Sesshin from June 1st.
I am grad to go there,and feel little bit fear,because head monk teaches Shobo-Genzo(Only one teacher at there) at 1st temple Eihei-ji,maybe I need to do hard practice.
I respect him,and our common language is English.(I always practice with foreigners)
For me good experience for my life,and I feel this flow is my fortune.
And I need to say thank you to all Treeleafer.
My life was hard and now I am on the way to practice.
But Buddhism always helped me,so I keep on practicing.
Please practice with me.

Hi.
I leave Annon-ji (Head monk master Jinen)and will go to Myotoku-ji.
About head monk Furusaka.(Head monk of Myotoku-ji)
https://www.zen-guide.de/zen/meister...Furusaka+Roshi
Sorry in German.
Myotokji-ji is at deep forest,we do lots of Sesshin,and hard work like Antaiji.
I like to practice at kind of Sawaki Roshi style.

I am on the way to Myotoku-ji.
Because of coronavirus,I spend time to go there for 24hours.
Very hard way.
But I need to go.
I can remember day,when I went to Antai-ji ,for few years ago,I had no money,no friends,no family.
But Jundo helped me to go there.
This time I can go there by myself.
Always Jundo helped me.
Thank you so much.

It is a small world in many ways. That osprey pack was made in a town just across the boarder from me. About 50 miles away. I go to that town to buy hay for my horses. The osprey folks are good people and make great packs.
Style of monk changed,but landscape don’t change.
We need rice,water,cloud,mountain,and all being.
I try to sit with them.
