Shao Shan Temple was honored to host visiting teacher: Rev.
Eitoku Kato this past weekend, September 28 & 29. Rev. Eitoku is the Abbot of
Ryougonji Temple in Japan and a dharma brother of Rev. Taihaku. They spent several years practicing together
at Hokyoji Monastery in Japan.
On Saturday, he and his wife joined the study group and then gave a demonstration of Baika - a type of melodic Buddhist hymns. On Sunday, Rev. Eitoku gave an inspiring Dharma talk on compassion and answered questions over tea.
Thanks to both Rev. Eitoku and his wife for making the long trip to be part of Soto Zen Buddhism in America.
