So wonderful to hear of our beloved Tassajara again. How well I recall those days of Tangaryo and oryoki, being on the kitchen crew and serving, the joys and struggles of the Doan Ryo, those cold mornings and those long walks up the road. Thanks for sharing and taking me back there with you 🙏 ❤️

Hi Colleen! I hope you're doing well. Thank you for subscribing and commenting. Today is personal day. All the tangaryo students made it through the gateless gate with flying colors. Remember there's no coming and going so you're always here. Bowing.🏞️

When I went to Tassjara on a LGBTQ-oriented retreat more than a decade ago, I remember the place having the feel of a little village … all dedicated to the Dharma.

Have a serene Ango!

Hi Adin, thanks for commenting. It does feel like a Dharma village! If we had snow and chair lifts here, it'd be a Dharma chalet! Skiing down the mountains and into the valley of emptiness. Bows.
