RIP Gudo Nishijima

Just a bit of news: the teacher of the likes of Jundo Cohen and Brad Warner passed away recently.

I've read a lot about him through Warner's books, and it's a shame to see a person with a progressive, almost punk-like attitude from that generation of Zen pass away. But he's right - "death is just a fact of this moment."
I'll do some zazen (that I haven't done in a few months at least) to honour his legacy.
