Friend, Brother, Teacher, Bodhisattva

Whether we've known Nich for just a short time or many years, each of us have had the good fortune to witness and benefit from his deep commitment to the Dharma. In one way or another - for many of us - countless ways, we've each been direct beneficiaries of Nich's dedication to this path, and this community has grown and thrived under his leadership and wisdom. His compassion, love, respect, honesty, and clarity are beacons of light in what can often be a dark and confusing world. His dedication to true teachings and living in service to all beings is beyond beautiful.

This coming June, Nich will be receiving his priest ordination in the Hollow Bones Zen lineage. As a way of showing our gratitude to our beloved brother and supporting him as a carrier and protector of the Dharma, we're organizing a fundraiser to cover the costs of his Priest's robes. If you feel called and are able, please make a donation and know that any amount will be received with deep gratitude. Let us come together to give thanks to our friend, brother and teacher and let us give thanks to these ancient teachings, still so alive, relevant and important after thousands of years!
