A Letter from Norman

Norman’s annual year-end letter looks back, looks forward, gives an update on the Foundation’s finances, and as always, includes a special poem by Norman. This year, we can be inspired by these reports and a vision of the blue woman army. 

When You Greet Me I Bow

Norman’s most recent dharma book is a collection of essays, When You Greet Me I Bow: Notes and Reflections from a Life in Zen. Edited by Cynthia Schrager, the essays span a life of inquiry into Zen practice, relationship, cultural encounter, and spiritual creativity.
