Publication of My Second Book

I have published my second book.

???, Sankushi, is a collection of all the oral traditions of the Sambo-in lineage of practice by the founder of our Dharma school, ?? (Shozen), along with the teachings of Todai-ji temple monks, ?? (Chigai) and ?? (Shunko), who were taught by Shozen.

This book was translated from old Japanese into modern Japanese and took 10 years to publish, even though I read it every day. A portion of the original is shown below. It is difficult even for Japanese speakers to read these characters, and I had a hard time reading them, even though I enjoyed reading them.

If you want to learn the Sambo-in lineage of practice, this book will be sufficient for you.

With this book, I have done what I needed to do in my life.
