Congratulations to three Zen Center students marking their commitment to the Dharma in separate ceremonies this month.
Keiryu Liên Shutt and Myozen Joan Amaral received Dharma transmission from Senior Dharma Teacher Zenkei Blanche Hartman at City Center, July 13.
Curtis Fabens was ordained as Dai Shi Zen Kai (Great Resolve, Perfect Openness) by Zenshin Greg Fain at Tassajara, July 21. (Fortunately, the Tassajara Fire was contained sufficiently, just in time to allow traffic into Tassajara for this ceremony.)
