Hi,
Those of us who were on E-sangha might remember genkaku, a Zen practitioner and writer.
genkaku recently passed away. You can find more details here: https://genkaku-again.blogspot.com/2021 ... ather.html
His family also created a GoFundMe to support funeral costs.
This notice has also been posted on NewBuddhist forum. I do not know where all the Zen Forum people have gone, but hopefully some old friends will see this too.

Thank you for this update. I don't live far from Adam, and I had hoped to go sit with him one day. I still repeat his words often: "Practice, and see what happens".jackal3 wrote: ↑Fri Apr 09, 2021 4:28 am Hi,

When walking, standing, sitting, lying down, speaking,
being silent, moving, being still.
At all times, in all places, without interruption - what is this?
One mind is infinite kalpas.

Back in the days of the grey forum I developed the habit of looking at the right-hand column of 'active topics' and making sure to read anything by the contributors I respected the most. Huifeng was one; Genkaku was another.
