Forty-nine Years ago in December

Shunryu Suzuki died during the first period of the first day of a Rohatsu sesshin in December in his bed at the City Center of the San Francisco Zen Center It is traditional to recall him with a memorial service on the 4th of every month. There's also one at some centers on the eve of the 3rd announcing that.  - thanks for reminding me Wendy Pirsig.

This post, hastily made, incorrectly said that he died on this day 49 years ago. - thanks for pointing out that gross error Yehudah Alan Winter
