Today marks one year since Chinen Sensei passed away. He would have turned 81 this summer. At my home, on one of the walls, hangs the huge poster from the 2016 Thonon seminar, signed by him, so every day, even if just for a moment, he comes to my mind.
Today let us remember him, his teachings that he left us, and also the responsibility that comes with passing on his legacy.
Although this is a sad anniversary, I feel joy knowing that Sensei’s name and teachings will continue to live on even when no one remembers us anymore. Preserving and passing on this legacy is our shared duty as members of Oshukai. (Gy. Baranyi)
