Report on the New Zendo Site A. The entrance gate to the slope way toward the hilltop, where the zendo is scheduled to be constructed. B. The same entrance seen from the (public) street In Kyosho #353 (March/April 2012) Ryoun Roshi related in his Opening Comments how the plan to build a new zendo for the Sanbo-Kyodan had come about. Also, the concrete sketch of the zendo building was explained in Kyosho #354 (May/June 2012). Since then a lot of readers expressed the desire to see how the new zendo site looks. Therefore, we would like to show you some pictures of the site along with a brief explanation, in order to give you a general idea of the place. The spots A from H indicate the alphabetical numbering of the pictures shown below. C. On the way up the slope toward the hilltop. (The site is about 25 meters above street level. The alley way up the slope is about 50 meters long. 24
D. A vegetable garden up on the hill G. Various trees on the hill: cherry trees, Japanese maple trees, orange trees, loquat trees, plum trees, persimmon trees, etc. They will be preserved in the zendo compound as far as possible. E. A house on the hill. This will be demolished in due course. F. Another house with a warehouse on the hill. These buildings will also be demolished, so that a new zendo can be built. H. Last summer there was a geological inspection by digging into the ground at several spots on the hill. The results will be carefully integrated into the latest planning. In order to construct the new zendo we will need at least 5 million US dollars. The new zendo must be built by the Sanbo-Kyodan itself, and we sincerely ask you to cooperate with us in the fund-raising. Any support from friends of the Sanbo-Kyodan or from anyone who sympathizes with our efforts would also be highly appreciated. In order to make a donation please contact your local Zen teacher(s) whose names you can find on the followeing list: http://www.sanbo-zen.org/master_e.html. Thank you very much. 25
