It's up!!!

It's been one week already since we were in California for a Jodo seminar organized by SoCal Jodo at the Butokuden Kendo Dojo
It was so great being able to practice and share our passion!

Thank you so much, Groendal Sensei and Phung Sensei from Hoshu Dojo, and King Sensei from New York Kobujodokai, for your participation and teachings, and of course many, many thanks, to Luis Sensei and his great team for their warm welcome and seamless organization.

Especially inspiring was the kindness and simplicity of practitioners holding very high ranks in other disciplines but just starting their journey in Jodo. A great lesson, as valuable, if not more, as all the teachings that were given during the seminar.

⚡⚡⚡がんばってください！⚡⚡⚡

A pause before practice, for a grateful thought for the masters from the past, and for my Senseis.
