HURRAY It is Falmouth Zen’s FOUNDERS Month (13th year)
November is Founder’s Month as we celebrate the life and teaching of Soyu Zengaku Matsuoka-roshi, on the 13th anniversary of the founding of the Silent Thunder Order (STO). Established by his student Taiun Elliston-roshi, Abbot of the Silent Thunder Order and the Atlanta Soto Zen Center. This year marks the 83rd Anniversary of Matsuoka-roshi coming to America and the 74rd Anniversary of his founding of the Zen Buddhist Temple of Chicago and the 46 years since Elliston-roshi founded the Atlanta Soto Zen Center. It is also the month Sangaku Dan Joslyn founded The Falmouth Soto Zen Sangha in 2010.
Wow…so a great deal to celebrate. Our calendar for the month follows but first some BREAKING-NEWS…
What better way to cap-off the month than with a
Falmouth Soto Zen Sangha : CAP
YES, you too may receive one if you make a donation of $50 or more! We ask once a year in celebration of our ancestors, for a $50 donation (you may give any amount you wish) where we share a portion of these proceeds with the Silent Thunder Order and Hojo Elliston-Roshi
(there will be a small mailing fee to ship to a mailing address)
