One of my long-time internet acquaintances is from South America and has expressed some concerns about his own zen ken ren iai (seitei) practice (is he up to date) what he's teaching his students (are they learning correctly) and his own conservatism (demanding more from his junior students) which might be mirroring the Japanese-led creep … Continue reading Reposted – 31 Oct 2021 – Off In the Wilderness – Kim Taylor Oct 31, 2014
