| Introduction | well, I guess Zen has been pivotal, after a life shattering experience, it is like coming home, a difficult journey. I deeply love my teachers, Irmgard Schoegel, Sochu Suzuki Roshi, Kyudo Nakagawa "Doshi"who made Zen real for me. Such gratitude, I can never repay, except try to make your vision and transmission live. Also all the women that have let me be, loving, intimate and sexual, homemakers, mothers Gassho |
