ZEN MASTER:an intimate portrait of John Daido Loori Roshi -by Rachael Loori Romero.m4v

[mujaku]

That which animated the old monk's skandha body in life is certainly beyond death. If the old monk saw IT, that's great. That is what a Buddhist is supposed to do! If he didn't see IT, let's hope his merit (punya) is sufficient to keep up the search for that which animates all things, the Buddha-nature.

He was my first real teacher. I only spent a few hours in his presence, mostly 25 years ago. Each moment, his life is an example to be realized within oneself. His contribution to American Zen is immeasurable.

For the record, Rachael Loori Romero was Daido Roshi's wife, not his daughter.
