Greetings from Baker Roshi
Hello, my name is Richard Baker, Zentatsu Myoyu.
I am sharing teachings with you that I have received from my Teacher, Suzuki Shunryu Roshi. I met him in 1961. I saw he was the most wise, realized, and evolved person I had ever met, and I decided to commit my life to realizing what he was about, to living my life with and for him, and to helping him in any way I could during his life – and then to continuing his life and my life through his Lineage Teachings. Everything I may be able to share is arising from my Zen Practice with him. Let’s find out what this Zen Practice is about and how it can be about you!
