Notes on Sources

Acknowledgments

Thanks are due to Robert and Anne Aitken for providing

personal recollections of Nakagawa Seen and Nyogen Senzaki,

as well as books and other materials relating to their Zen

experience in Japan and the United States. We are indebted to

the scholars, translators, and historians listed in our bibliogra-

phy, whose dedicated work with original sources made this

hook possible. Professor David Chappell of the Religion De-

partment of the University of Hawaii was most helpful in

rendering scholarly assistance on the topic of Zen Buddhism,

particularly regarding the chapter on Hakuin, and Professor

Steve Canharn of the English Department of the University of

Hawaii is to he thanked for providing a forum on Ikkyu. Dr.

Craig Twentyman, colleague and dharma friend, maintained a

steady and lively Zen dialogue that continues still; and Will

Staple of Ring of Bone Zendo showed us his own unique form

of Crazy Cloud Zen. Shambhala's staff, particularly peter

Turner and Jonathan Green, were both editorially and spiritu-

ally responsive to the dharmic aspects of our work; special

thanks to them.

To Robert Aitken Roshi we gassho in gratitude for his

guidance in our Zen practice with the Diamond Sangha in

Honolulu.

Finally, to the Crazy Clouds in this hook, and to Crazy

Clouds everywhere, we extend our hand.
