My Buddhist teacher, Gudo Nishijima Roshi, passed away on this day (January 28) in 2014.
He dedicated most of his life to learning about Buddhism and teaching other people.
Here's a video of Master Nishijima explaining how to do Zazen.
And this is a video of Master Nishijima doing Zazen on a very hot summer's day in Tokyo when he was 89.
I feel very fortunate to have met him and that he was kind enough to teach me about Buddhism. I'll be keeping him in my thoughts today.
