Jay Gilbert just wrote: I saw your blogspot about Ananda. I wondered if
you can put out a call to see if anyone has a copy of the old Mountain
Gate Study Center curriculum. Remember when we has a framework for Study
Center classes? Abidharma, Koans: Blue Cliff/Mumonkan, Emptiness. I
don't remember the specific categories, but then one class of each
category would be offered either at City Center or at GGF each
"semester". I rather remember there were 6 categories, but it was so
much more comprehensive than any online courses I am seeing, or the
current SFZC offerings. Ananda designed it, and I am grateful for
getting such a comprehensive grounding in the teachings of the Buddha.
DC - I'm putting out the word looking for it. Thanks Jay. He says he
looked for it when he was shuso but that he couldn't find a copy of it
anywhere.

I should get all references to Ananda from the Wind Bells and put it on his cuke page, but I found this using
cuke's Wind Bell search set up by Peter Ford.
