Dharma Heir Announcement

It is in great respect for our Buddhist tradition and our Order’s ability to march forward in the dharma, that I announce that I have chosen Brian Chang-Jin as the OEB’s Dharma Heir Apparent and my Dharma Heir. The Installation and Acknowledgement Ceremony will be conducted on Monday February 12th at 7pm in Long Island New York. A private service between Chang-Jin and myself was held before this public event as is traditional in my Ch’an lineage. We follow in the footsteps of our Great Buddhist Ancestors and ride on their shoulders as we proceed in confidence to the other shore.  Sva Ha
