<\/a><\/div>\n
Above is the zendo created at Grailville<\/a>, a retreat center in Loveland, OH, for the seven-day sesshin of the Yellow Springs Dharma Center<\/a>. Through the window to the left is a bunch of cows, completing the midwestern Zen experience, moo\u2019s and all.\u00a0 There were also a couple roosters nearby who nicely heralded the rising sun each day.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I drove down for sesshin to continue my koan play, thinking it\u2019d be fun to see what koan work was like with another teacher. Just to be clear, I haven\u2019t at all jumped from the Boundless Way ship and will be going to sesshin in late July with the Boundless Way folks too.\u00a0 <\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The itinerant teacher, Daniel Terragno<\/a> (like James Ford) is a successor of John Tarrant<\/a> but when John went independent from the Diamond Sangha<\/a>, Daniel stayed with them.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I\u2019ve known Daniel for more than a decade as a colleague, enjoying time with him whenever I can, like at meetings and such. Once we slipped out of an AZTA<\/a> meeting in San Francisco and drove to Mill Valley to have a lovely evening with mutual friends.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
As a teacher, Daniel struck me as well trained and deeply settled. I learned some important things about koan practice and teaching from him that I\u2019m very grateful for.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
If the size of the group were really dependent on the quality of the teaching, this guy would have a really big group. But Daniel is strikingly nondramatic and nonpromotional so works with small groups in Sebastopol, Chile, Argentina, and in Ohio.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Diamond-Sangha style<\/span> sesshin <\/span> <\/span>container was simple, clear, and well managed by the sincere efforts of the sesshin officers. <\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n
So this here is a hearty recommendation for Daniel and the Yellow Springs group.<\/span><\/div>\n
