Sorry to have been out of touch for a while. My office is now at home and I lost track of a few things including this blog. I am about to begin the ceremonies for Dharma Transmission...which is hard to explain....it is an empowerment as a Zen Teacher and will mean I can train and ordain people as priests. Gengetsu Junsei ... my buddhist name...will become part of the lineage of the ancestors. This is thrilling and hard to comprehend. As far as I know I'm the first working class, gender-queer, Scottish person to attain this level.....and my students...the most diverse group you could find - will have the same possibility!!!! If you've ever wanted to enter Soto Zen training, but worried you wouldn't fit....give me a call.

SEE BELOW FOR MORE ON HAGGIS...

Wild Haggis (Haggis scoticus) is a creature said to be native to the Scottish Highlands. It is claimed to be the source of haggis, a traditional Scottish dish that is in fact made from the innards of sheep.

According to some sources, the wild haggis's left legs are of different length than its right legs, allowing it to run quickly around the steep mountains and hillsides which make up its natural habitat, but only in one direction. It is further claimed that there are two varieties of haggis, one with longer left legs and the other with longer right legs. The former variety can run clockwise around a mountain (as seen from above) while the latter can run anticlockwise. The two varieties coexist peacefully but are unable to interbreed in the wild because in order for the male of one variety to mate with a female of the other, he must turn to face in the same direction as his intended mate, causing him to lose his balance before he can mount her. As a result of this difficulty, differences in leg length among the Haggis population are accentuated.
