On Saturday, September 11, three Zen students received priest ordination in a ceremony at SFZC’s City Center. Ryushin Paul Haller ordained Tim Kroll—Tatsushi Museki / Penetrating Resolve, No Trace and Krista de Castella—Soryu Hodo / Ancestral Stream, Liberating Way; Abbess Fu Schroeder ordained Robyn Morris—Chikurin Zenetsu / Bamboo Forest, Zen Joy. This was the first ordination at City Center since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic, and so was extra joyous! Congratulations to all!
