This morning at 7:30 in America the Zen master Joko Beck died, we are told. She of « Everyday Zen » fame, she who is considered a pioneer of a contemporary Zen for our times in the West, she a beacon of our White Plum lineage. They said her last words were, « This too is wonder… »
How wonderful!
I bow. May her teaching live on and on.
Joko Beck
