Ajari Tanaka's 2017 Visit

Ajari Tanaka and his wife Yukiko-san are due to arrive at the Burlington Vermont Airport tomorrow around 7:00 PM.  After Ajari's health scare last year that disrupted his 2016 trip to Vermont, we couldn't be any more happy about his immanent arrival.  Additionally, we haven't enjoyed Yukiko's company for many, many years and look forward to not only reacquainting ourselves with her, but also having all the new Mandala students get to know this special member of our sangha.

Ajari Tanaka has a very ambitious schedule this year.  In the early days of his visit he will oversee instruction for his qualified students in both the Kongo-kai Gyo (the sadhana of the Vajradhatu Mandala) and the Goma, Shingon's profound fire ceremony.  He will also guide to completion our multi-year translation effort to render the Gumonji-ho Sadhana into a workable English language text.

And that all happens in the just first four days...

We wish you all could be part of this and please stay tuned for what happens next...
