In January 2012 Master Jim received an invitation to become a Dharma Teacher in the tradition of Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh. On March 17 he participated in a Lamp Transmission ceremony, at the Deer Park Monastery near Escondido, which was the culmination of the invitation.
As part of the process he offered an insight gatha (poem) to Thich Nhat Hanh and he responded. He is sharing the exchange on the page "Tai Chi Writings" titled "Insight Gatha."
Master Jim hopes you enjoy them.
