Forwarded from Shosan Victoria Austin:
As of 2:15 today, the fire has entered Tassajara, and our improvised sprinkler system is protecting the buildings, with the help of the five well-prepared monks on-site. Please continue to check our website, www.sfzc.org, for information and updates. If you are willing and able, please call or e-mail California senators’ local offices in support of Tassajara. Their numbers are:
Senator Dianne Feinstein (415)393-0707
Senator Barbara Boxer (415)403-0100
What you can say: You read the story in the Chronicle/our website/ your local newspaper. You consider Tassajara to be a national treasure. You understand that 5 Zen monks are defending the monastery. If there is anything they can do to provide support — by air or with a crew — please encourage them to do that.
Please continue to chant for the well-being of Tassajara, the monks there and there-in-spirit.
Everyone at SFZC and at Tassajara is nourished by your concern, and by your practice.
Nine bows,
Shosan
