I don't know how common it is at other Zen centers, but some variation of it seems to be used in the Mountains and Rivers Order (Daido Loori's people), as well, so it's possible that it's fairly widespread at least in centers run by dharma heirs of Taizan Maezumi Roshi. Be well and gassho! Hey Doug,

Yeah, on any given day, there's a lot to commemorate, or in India at least, there's at least one Hindu-related holiday somewhere. Or so I was told. :) <strong>Jamie McLeod</strong>: Where'd you find that nice quotation? <strong>Senshin</strong>: Mange tak! Happy Rohatsu til dig også. (Google translate, hope that made sense) Hi guys, sorry for the late reply:

Jim Morrison's birthday BTW Probably greater remembered by many as John Lennon's memorial day. Also US, Britain and Australia declared war on Japan in 1941, and in 1987 Presidents Gorbachev and Reagan signed the first ever treaty to reduce USSR and USA ground-based intermediate-range missiles. A lot has happened on one and each day, May we all find the way to peace, Stephen Happy Jodo-e!
