gI attended a Dharma meeting on Mt. Hiko-san at a special taya-house, part of which is said to date back to before the formal transmission of Buddhism to Japan from Korea. A talk given at the meeting made me realise how humble I should feel to be learning about the very source of life that gives birth to everything.h Young Dharma friend.
