OK. Don't forget about the gig at the Interdependence Project tonight at 7-9 pm at 302 Bowery, (Buzzer #2) New York, NY 10012. Be there!!
Plus there's other gigs out here "back East" as they say on the West Coast at East/West Books, Monmouth University, the Brooklyn Zen Center and the Traditional Chinese Cultural Center in DC. All details are on the link over there to your left. You must come to all of them!!
Also, back out West, there will be an all-day Zazen sitting at Hill Street Center this Saturday led by the wonderful and great Kevin Bortolin. Kevin is also a dharma heir of Nishijima Roshi. And not a drama heir of him, as there seem to be a few of! Or at least one very loud and highly dramatic one of... (I can't believe the incredible bullshit that is being put out about Nishijima these days, though can anyone really wonder why the old man isn't talking to the person spreading this deceitful, self-serving ugliness? The supposedly "antisemitic" Nishijima Roshi has done 2 or 3 speaking tours of Israel at his own expense. And that's all I'm saying about that! Except that I sometimes wish I had the wild sex life this joker wants folks to think I have! But if it sells books, I'm all for letting those rumors stand! Oh calm the fuck down! Nobody can take a joke anymore.).
There will be another one of these all-day deals at Hill Street Center in April. But I can't recall the date so I hope either Kevin or John Graves will e-mail that to me. In any case, there are sittings with the Dogen Sangha group there every Saturday while I'm on tour. Don't miss them!
I'm all wound up from traveling and being on the radio at two in the morning in New York City. So you should ignore me at this point. I gotta get out of this room. It's almost noon (i.e. 9am to my internal clock)!
I promise I'll try to talk some Buddhism here one of these days instead of just being a dork (which is also Buddhist practice sometimes).
