RIP Shaku Daijo

Sad to learn that Daijo died.
Daijo was at Sogenji in Japan for much of the time Elin and I lived next door. Later I'd visit him in Kyoto at  a subtemple of farmous Ryoanji.  He was a most sincere student who practiced many years in Japan and, with his wife Ursula, opened Daishu-in West in Humbolt County California.

Farewell dear Daijo.

That's his calligraphy. - thanks E.H. Mann for sending it.
