Winter Ango Theme
Shuso Joe “Jogan” “Pure Vow” Richards
“If we don’t find Nirvana within Samsara
there is nowhere we can find Nirvana”
there is nowhere we can find Nirvana”
"Personally, I didn’t have any idea that this would involve engaging and receiving the presence of each and every person so intimately. For 20 years I have faced the wall with others; to now be facing them and seeing their dedication and commitment is only heart-breaking. I would have each and every one of us open the mind flower together-in just one sitting! Then, we could place this sacred bouquet upon the altar itself: fresh living flowers gently swaying in the wisteria wind for every person to enjoy when entering this place of training at Sonoma Mountain Zen Center."
~ Shuso Joe “Jogan” Richards
