Master Gudo Nishijima has been practicing Buddhism for more than sixty years.
He was a student of Master Kodo Sawaki, an itinerant priest famous
for his efforts to restore Zazen to its rightful place at the center
of Buddhism. Master Nishijima was ordained as a priest by the
late Master Rempo Niwa, formerly head of the Soto Sect,
and has written many books on Buddhism
in both Japanese and in English.
For over twenty years, he has been
giving instructions on Zazen and lectures in English.

Dear Nishijima Sensei:
za-tsu-o-n-to
ho-u-sha-se-n-hassu
ta-i-yo-u-ka
The 5-7-5 counting is a little difficult to see for some.
Cognitive content in English:
Have you ever heard
The sound of the Sun
Or seen the light of day?
HAIKU
(My answer: Both equally exist as illusions.)
Sensei, okeiko domo arigato gozaimashita,
Charles (O-cha-ryu)
