    What a precious gift

    What a precious gift to experience life in all its facets, in its shades and the opportunity to enter each situation as a dharma gate to go beyond dukkha and find liberation even while experiencing dukkha.

    What a precious gift to be born in a time that connects all of us and make Treeleaf possible. Deep bows to Jundo and all the ancestors along the blood line back to Gudo Wafu Nishijima, Dogen Zenji, Bodhidharma and Buddha Shakyamuni to keep the Dharma alive in and through all of us. Thank you for your teachings, Roshi.

    What a precious gift to be part of this sangha and have a wonderful teacher and all of you with your stories, teachings and efforts are so beneficial for the whole tradition and for one's practice.

    Brother, I feel your words deeply. I joined the Sangha just a few days ago, but it's one of the most impactful and beautiful things ever happened to me.
    Thanks, and I hope to sit with you soon.

    Sat, Franz
