A Message from Paul Zengyu Discoe

Dear friends and fellow practitioners,

I have found myself on a five-acre farm on the Big Island of Hawai‘i, about 2,000 feet in elevation, surrounded by forest. The property is owned outright, and there is a small endowment to begin shaping the site and creating a place for practice.

The plan is to build a small practice center grounded in the teachings of Shunryu Suzuki Roshi and Dōgen Zenji.

I would like to connect with practitioners interested in a way of life based on right livelihood and simple living, as an alternative to the frenzied spending and materialism that are damaging us and the planet. If this resonates with you, or with someone you know, please reach out to info@chopandcarry.org

With gratitude, 

Paul Zengyu Discoe
