FOR THREE GREAT DAYS of inspiring events, 40 Tendai priests traveled to California from Japan, Europe, the East Coast, and Hawaii. At Berkeley we hosted an exhibition, demonstrations of calligraphy, and an academic symposium of scholars from the East and the West. And the Hoshu-in goma-do at the monastery in Cobb was beneficiary of a high-spirited dedication ceremony, thanks to the Jigyodan of the Enryakuji on Mt. Hiei and to Monshin Naamon's Tendai Buddhist Institute of East Chatham, New York.
