I met Katsuryu Bill Cooper three years ago as he had reached out to Elliston-roshi as having been a student of Matsuoka-roshi while Katsuryu was in California.
I had a wonderful discussion with his sangha, Bellevue (Washington) Dharma, two months ago and ask him in return to share the Dharma with us in Falmouth.
Katsuryu-san is active in the Silent Thunder Order, serving on the Retreat Committee and helping facilitate the STO Practice leader Forum. I look forward to all of you meeting him.
Please join us on Zoom only, Tuesday August 17, as we are not returning face-to-face until at least September 7, 2021.
