One morning after Zazen, students asked Zen Master Suzuki Roshi, “Why do you shave your head?”
Suzuki replied, “Because this is the fundamental hairstyle.”

We planted some seeds of love and awareness in northeast Las Vegas, Nevada, Saturday. Meditation at 3,500 feet naturally goes deep when supported by the vast emptiness of the high desert. I couldn’t help marvel, observing the beautifully landscaped gardens around the house, how the desert blooms when given water — just as thirsty souls do when watered with meditation. Seeing faces of participants soften and start shining from the inside confirmed this. Many thanks to Murali for having the vision; and to new friends Jeanne and Mark for opening their lovely home to us. This event has been something of a miracle, one I won’t soon forget. I have a feeling it is the start of something new.
