At 4pm on October 13th 2013 our former Practice Leader ascended the mountain and became our Abbot! A deep bow of congratulations to all of Hartford Street Zen Center Community and to Rev Myo Lahey. We look forward to our years ahead together practicing this ancient, life changing way of Soto Zen.
Earnestly strive to avoid seeking outside, lest you go for astray. I travel on alone now, but everywhere I go I meet it. It is no other than me, but I am not it. Understand in this way to merge with true suchness – Dongshan
