I gathered some guidance awhile ago in the hopes that my district would start having planning meetings that were more than a few minutes at the end of another meeting. Someone once told me that it is important not to pick and choose which of Sensei’s guidance we follow, for this is not the path of the Oneness of Mentor and Disciple, without which achieving kosen rufu will be difficult if not impossible. I hope this is useful and encouraging!
