Dogen Sangha Leadership

Dear Nishijima Sensei:

when you wrote: "I think that this point is very important for maintenance of Buddhist tradition, and so I like to proclaim my own opinion rather formally" then the Dogen Sangha International might have increased overall attention in response.

Although I am in a somewhat different world altogether, I think the traditional harmonious transition from one leader to the next can be appreciated by all who have some sense of 'wa' and also understand that with the 'rise of self' begins the fall of humanity.

Sodé no furi-awasé mo tashô no en-

Warmest fraternal regards,
Charles (O-cha-ryu)
