Zenmonk. I had first come across your postings in 2006 and had interacted briefly as Zeean from Beliefnet years ago. I was also Shatte. I just wanted to say that in spite of the many issues that had surfaced of which I wont mention here, I just wanted to impart a thank you as many of your interactions had helped kickstart the pathway to realisation. For that there is gratitude as you became a "teacher" of sorts for me. Yet that said, I recall this quote directed to you from the Dhammapada at Buddhachat pertaining to the issues at hand...
"Just like a blossom, bright colored but scentless: a well-spoken word is fruitless when not carried out. Just like a blossom, bright colored & full of scent: a well-spoken word is fruitful when well carried out".
Stay well in the Dharma Zenmonk. Finish Juki and discuss the issues with Gempo Roshi as the monk is dearly missed. @&~~
