Editor’s Note:<br />
We wish you, dear readers of the <strong>English</strong> Kyosho, a very happy New Year 2013!<br />
May the new year bring you valuable fruit in your efforts to constantly deepen your<br />
practice and to let all living beings take part in your great fruit.<br />
In this number of the Kyosho the series of teishos on the Shodoka by YAMADA<br />
Koun Roshi comes to its completion. We thank Paul SHEPHERD for his wonderful<br />
translation work. It is a great privilege for us to have Paul with his unique talent to<br />
freely render any Japanese texts, even if they are written in classical Japanese/Chinese,<br />
into beautiful <strong>English</strong>. In the next number we will start the teisho series on the<br />
Shinjinmei, also translated by Paul.<br />
Another special contribution is an article by Ursula OKLE, who has written a<br />
commemorative article in deep gratitude for Mrs. YAMADA Kazue (the wife of YAMADA<br />
Koun Roshi), who turned 100 last September. Mrs. Yamada was virtually the one who<br />
built the San’un Zendo for us, and we know that, without her, the Sanbo-Kyodan Zen<br />
movement would never have come to its fruition. We cannot thank her enough for this.<br />
Then follows a short report on the site of the newly planned zendo with some pictures, so<br />
that the readers may have a general idea what the place looks like. Mr. ICHINO, who is<br />
one of the people who have been taking care of the site, reports on their action as well as<br />
on his impressions of the site. It certainly is a beautiful site; as a matter of fact, however,<br />
we need more solid financial basis for the start of the construction, and we must jointly<br />
pray that more donations should flow into the zendo account. We sincerely ask you for<br />
your further support and cooperation<br />
