Went to Josui Kaikan for
Nishijima-sensei's 88th birthday lunch. He's been sitting zazen and studying Buddhism for many a decade. He also translated some of the seminal works into modern Japanese and then into English. Today was also the launch party for his latest book, a modern Japanese translation of the Sanskrit
Churon. Don't actually have any idea what it is, as I'm still slowly trudging my way through
Shobogenzo.
