| Quotation | Thanks for your very good letter. It took some time for your own Shibayama book [Zenkei Shibayama, A Flower Does Not Talk] from Yale to reach me but I sent it back as soon as I got it. I hope it has safely reached you. I was speaking yesterday with a man from Vanderbilt University who entertained Shibayama Roshi at Nashville and liked him very much. I still have faint hopes I might meet Shibayama sometime. |
