Greetings:

I am sorry to chime in, but I would be very interested
to find out where Mr. Chye Tan gained his experience
with Zen Buddhism.

Spending more than five years looking for a connection,
I would be willing to travel anywhere in the U.S. or Japan to
interview him as he would be my first direct connection.
My definition of "experience" is PRACTICE, as in
meditation at a recognized religious facility where
bonsai was part of the organization's religion related
activity. I am looking for facts and primary sources,
not hearsay. Any leads will be greatly appreciated and
will be properly credited upon publication of the material.

Sincerely yours.

Gassho! (Any Zen practitioner will understand this.)
