On February 23, 2013, I will be ordained as a Zen Buddhist monk/priest. I've gotten a tremendous amount of help with funds to obtain my robes, which are being custom-made, by hand, by a member of my temple, Kuge-In. To all who have helped me out, or who would help if they were in the position to, I give my most sincere and humble thanks to you. I'm just shy of my goal, and a few more donations will allow me to adequately pay for this gentleman's time and talent, which has gone beyond his making my robes, as he is also assisting me with those articles I must make myself, by hand and with no experience. So I ask, if you are able, to chuck in a few bucks to help me out. You can remain anonymous if you wish.
