...so the Zen group to which I once belonged excommunicated me on the very same day (twelve years ago) that my spiritual search came to an end. This proved, once again, that God has a great sense of humor and perfect timing. LOL. I kept the robes so that I could look official when I marry and bury people, but you're welcome to the rice bowls if I can ever find them. I'm sure that you'll do a great job.
