Above is David Rynick, one of the several Boundless Way Zen teachers, the next abbot of the BWZ school and a very sweet guy, and myself outside of the new Boundless Way Temple in Worcester, MA. Looks like we might be related \u2013 and we have the same fashion consultant too. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had a wonderful time in Boston and thereabouts. We kicked off the short weekend with Sue and Arlene (thanks again for all your warmth and generosity) taking us to visit Walden Pond \u2013 one of the places I\u2019ve long wanted to see. Here\u2019s the view from His hermitage:<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Almost 30 people showed up for the Saturday workshop on Zazenshin<\/i> and we played with the first part of the text for about six hours. I found them to be an easy group to study with in addition to being smart and grounded.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The trip highlight for me was a laughter-filled dinner on Saturday night at our hosts\u2019<\/span><\/span> Bob and Jennifer\u2019s home (thanks again too!)<\/span><\/span>, with some of the BZC teachers, including James Ford, Melissa Blacker, David Rynick and a few of the senior students and their more-than-tolerant spouses.\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Boundless Way Zen lived up to its reputation as a fine, open, sincere Zen group. I hope to meet up with them again. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
