Readings and Videos

Jun 16, 2012 Peter Mayer is perhaps the most talented singer/songwriter/guitarist I've ever had the pleasure of meeting. I've put together this montage to honor his song "Japanese Bowl" from his album "Heaven Below".

Video: Thich Nhat Hanh After 9/11:

Ignorance, Discrimination, Fear & Violence Are Real Enemies of Humanity

A 14 min audio/video of Thich Nhat Hanh, Buddhist monk, speaking in New York City two weeks after the 9/11 attack - about embracing fear and anger.

In memory of Thich Nhat Hanh, the world-renowned Buddhist monk, antiwar activist, poet and teacher who died Saturday, we re-air a speech Hanh gave at Riverside Church in New York in 2001.

A Deep Bow Journey - Video

This video is available in three subtitled versions: English, French, and Japanese. YouTube Playlist

This video relates the story of two Japanese nationals, H.F. Ito and Masashi Minagawa, who joined other Japanese for a trip to Nanjing, China in 2007. The trip’s purpose was to apologize for the Japanese military’s massacre of thousands of Nanjing residents in 1937.

Individual practices during the week

A note from Ito Sensei in 2021:

These classes represent each instructor's current inspirations, appreciations and personal understands of Taimyo. We are invited to study with each instructor. Ito cautions: do not assume this instruction is the only way to understand Taimyo or that Taimyo has changed. We should each study and explore to find your own appreciation and understand. Each day may be different. Each practice may be unique.
