On the title, Magatta Kyuri and why that is used rather than hebo kyuri which is what we think he was actually called by his master Suzuki Gyokujun So-on.

Translated by Asaoka Sadayoshi.

and two other former students of Shunryu Suzuki

More on him soon. - dc

 

Asaoka's translation was done for the family fifteen or more years ago. Kawashima Eisaku of Samgha edited the manuscript. Akiba Gengo, Fujita Issho, and Suzuki Hoitsu (Shunryu's son) went over the text carefully. This work was coordinated by Aragane Kaoru who consulted with me, David Chadwick, on various details. Thank you to this team! - DC
