Sensei Bruce ShiHo Lindsay and Sensei Joshua Kūhai Radice received dharma transmission in the lineage of the White Plum Asanga from Sensei Robet JinGen Ertman on May 31, 2025. We’re delighted to welcome Sensei Bruce as a new teacher at One Heart Sangha. In his new role as a teacher, Sensei Bruce has started offering newcomer introductions and online dokusan for regular students. Sensei Kūhai is growing a new zendo in Annapolis, Harbor Light Zen Sangha.
The transmission was at the Annapolis UUC, and was kindly hosted by the Annapolis Mindfulness Group. It was well attended with students, meditators, and teachers from sanghas all over the area. We had attendees from Joyful Mind Zendo in Rockville, Clare Sangha in Baltimore, Harbor Light Zendo in Annapolis, Del Ray Zen in Alexandria, and of course One Heart Sangha in Silver Spring. Sensei Jan JinKai Gary even kindly flew up from Florida to join us in person.
A slightly chaotic morning zazenkai preceded the denbo ceremony, as we integrated the different sanghas and the mindfulness group. The forms came together and the kinhin lines fell into place with some guidance from senior students. The dharma flowed freely as the practices merged.
