Sensei Tasogare Shinju out for a walking meditation
With my bamboo staff
If you have a strong mind: have a cup of tea. Calm it.
And old black robe
I walk through the town
Year after year.
- old risu -
Sensei napping with a few of his companions ..... Munchkin Cats ....
Nita his wife got this action photo!
Temple of the Thousand Swallows Shrine Room.
Just an afternoon with Sensei Tasogare at home ...
If you have a weak mind: have a cup of tea. Calm it.
If you have an average mind: have a cup of tea. Calm it.
If you have an empty mind: have a cup of tea. Enjoy its infinite blessings.

Omoiyari Ga Aru Hokke Shu
Path of the Compassionate Lotus
It is the single character in Japanese that denotes both the Dharma and Law. So it stands for both the Sutra of the Lotus Flower of the Wonderful Law and also includes the Dharma (Law+Dharma). It is then surrounded with Enso the absolute, true reality, and enlightenment. So with all three together you get the Law and the Dharma total and absolute leading to enlightenment.
