Below is a photograph of original calligraphy on a four-foot scroll that was recently donated to the Bodhi Manda Zen Center by the Toen-ji Temple in Japan in honor of Joshu Roshi’s 50 years of teaching in the United States. The artist, Joten Soko, was Joshu Roshi’s second teacher. The main calligraphy translates to “Silence.”
- “Silence.” (Miura) Joten Soko, 1872 – 1958; The Myoshin-ji branch; 624th Chief Abbot of Myoshin-ji; 127th Abbot and former Zen Master of Zuigan-ji, Matsushima in Miyagi.
As 2012 surrenders to 2013 we wish you and your family inner silence and peace of mind.
