Last night, traditionally at midnight, with the rite of Denbo, I completed the process of giving Jay Rinsen Weik Dharma transmission. It was a private ceremony held at the Boundless Way Temple in Worcester witnessed by roshis Melissa Myozen Blacker and David Rynick. Sensei Weik is now a fully authorized priest and teacher within the Soto stream of Zen Buddhism. May he and his sangha at the Great Heartland Zen Buddhist Temple in Toledo flourish as a beacon of the Zen way in the great American midwest.
