A message from Shugen Roshi –
Hojin’s insight, creativity and skillfulness have brought the arts to life for an ever-increasing number of dharma practitioners both within and beyond the MRO Sangha. Her imaginative, inspiring use of different media and materials brings her students into intimate contact with their minds and hearts, as well as with the Earth and her many beings. Our Sangha is most blessed to have Hojin Sensei teaching Dharma and dharma arts…Let us appreciate this excellent exhibition, Hojin Sensei, and the artists in our world who bring their wondrous experience to all of us, enriching our lives and our relationships with every living thing.
