Roshi Joan, your wisdom has been an inspiration to me over the last few years. Even the simple stuff about posture "strong back, soft front" have made my zazen more comfortable, and dignified.

We all hope and pray for your long life and great health Roshi Joan. Stay as long as you can in the Dharma blessings. We appreciate and need you as an elder. Hands to heart and much love (glad you and Jetsunma Tenzin Palmo are leading elder spokeswomen of the Sangha. She turned 80 this year). One LOVE!
