Congratulations and thanks to Nancy Petrin for serving as shuso for the Fall 2014 Practice Period at City Center, led by City Center Abiding Abbot Rinso Ed Sattizahn. Nancy is pictured below after the Shuso Ceremony on Saturday, December 6, which closed the practice period at the end of Rohatsu Sesshin. Several at the ceremony expressed that Nancy would be missed as a resident, though she continues to have a daily presence and offer her talents to the sangha in her position as a manager in the Development Department.

On Forgiveness

In this letter to the sangha, Central Abbot Tenzen David Zimmerman writes about forgiveness and repair in his own life, and how SFZC is working with former Abbot Richard Baker to reconcile a difficult past and move forward together.
