Join us at 1:00 PM for the Denbo (teacher transmission) ceremony for Bruce SuiHo Lindsay and Joshua KuHai Radice. They will receive transmission from Robert JinGen Ertman Sensei and be authorized to teach in the White Plum Asanga. Ed Sangetsu Sullivan Sensei will be leading the ceremony.

The morning of the ceremony, One Heart Sangha, Harbor Light Zen Sangha, and the Mindfulness Practice Group of Annapolis are hosting an optional zazen sitting and light lunch. Please arrive at 8:45 AM for first bell at 9:00 AM.
