We Can Go Deeper With Understanding Emotions - Fugen Tom Pitner Roshi
Wednesday Aug 07, 2024
Wednesday Aug 07, 2024
Fugen Tom Pitner Roshi is a busy man. After 25 years of service to Jun Po Roshi and Hollow Bones Zen, he is leading a six day retreat in South Dakota as the head of Dragon Heart Dharma. The retreat includes a Jukai Ceremony for five new members as well as ordination of the first three priests for Dragon Heart Dharma. Fugen Roshi wears many hats - a professional coach, a teacher, and a leader in the ManKind Project to name a few. I did manage to catch up with him to share how he see’s himself moving forward given his unique role as a Roshi of his own sangha 25 years after beginning with Jun Po Roshi and Hollow Bones Zen.
