[98] "In our refuge ceremony on Saturday, March 25, 2006 seven folks gave vows and received rakusus and zen names from roshi John Tarrant of Pacific Zen Institute. For this group, roshi John put the Kanji on the rakusu and only the English name. If someone wants to use a Chinese or Japanese pronunciation of the Kanji then each person can choose which. My name is Heavenly Donkey [=Tenro? - tmc] : 天驢 This appears to be part of John Tarrant's practice of rooting Zen in this continent. So if you post the name on your website I suppose you would have to put the 'name' as 'Heavenly Donkey (E)' where (E) = English, with the 'meaning' as the same. I guess you could otherwise put the Kanji as the name with a (C). But there is no Chinese or Japanese name that was given. Gregory Wonderwheel, Santa Rosa, California".

Tamara Gabrysch, email, 17 Feb 2008.
[163a] Dear Matthew, I am happy to let you know that Genpo Roshi is fine for the names / dates / places of his Jukai recipients to be made public on your site.

[166] "'BUTSU' ['Buddha' and 'France' in old japanese] is the buddhist name given by Inoue Kido Roshi, head of Shorinkutsu-dojo, Hiroshima Pref., Japan, to his first western disciple: Stanis Chamodot. Yours sincerely, Shorinkutsu-dojo Europe.", Stanis Chamodot, email, 01 Apr 2008.
[167] "Dear Matthew, As promised, here is the list of Dharma Names that Tenkei Coppens Roshi has given to his students. I mentioned in the last email that he had great help from a friend of ours, a monk in Japan named Koichi Isoda, from Keishoin temple in Fuji City. He assists Tenkei Roshi in both translating and the relevant characters. These he is fine to be made public in their entirety. in gassho, Tamara.
PS I just received shiho from Genpo Merzel Roshi last week (!) This being, the listing for Tamara Myoho Gabrysch in Genpo Roshi's line could be changed from Assistant Teacher to Dharma Successor. Thanks!

[245] "Dear Dr. Ciolek, It has been a long time since I contacted you. [...] Also, many years ago I mentioned that my own Dharma name is Mitra Bishop and that I do not go by "Frances Mitra" Bishop. Because it was so confusing to be known by one name and have my official identification in another, my name was legally changed many years ago. It is now simply "Mitra Bishop." Also, once I completed my formal practice at the Rochester Zen Center I went on pilgrimage to Japan (Japan only, since I had lived in Southeast Asia and been to Singapore and Hong Kong—and later to Taiwan) in 1992 after having met Harada Shodo-roshi and done sesshin with him in the States. I spent two months at Sogen-ji in Okayama, Japan, (Harada-roshi's temple), then went also to sit at Soko Morinaga-roshi 's temple in Kyoto (Daishu-in), then did Rohatsu sesshin at Bukkoku-ji under Tangen-roshi. A few months later I returned to Japan and lived and trained for the next three years at Sogen-ji. When I returned from that period of intensive training, Roshi Philip Kapleau authorized me to teach. I have continued to train with Harada-roshi to this day, attending several sesshin a year with him, some at Sogen-ji and some in the States, while also teaching Zen students at Mountain Gate in northern New Mexico, U.S.A. (www.sanmonjizen.org) and at Hidden Valley Zen Center (www.hvzc.org). I give you this information since you have been carefully archiving contemporary Zen teachers and their training.

[258] "Corrections to Dharma names: "Gensei" and "Rokoji" - Hello, The teacher who held these names and who is referenced in source #103, Tenzan Toyoda, was my teacher. Following are some corrections regarding the meanings of these: 1. Gensei [å∫ê∂] has the approximate meaning of "mysterious life". The current meaning showed in the list references a possible implication of the name in this particular case only, since Toyoda was a dharma descendent of Omori Sogen. But the actual meaning of the name is not as described. 2. Rokoji does indeed mean "old layperson". However, it is not a name but an honorific title. It is the analogue of the title Roshi: "Roshi" is used in Rinzai Zen for priests who receive inka shomei, while laypersons who receive inka might be called "Rokoji". Thanks very much for all your work, it's very helpful. Sincerely, Meido [Moore], www.rinzaizen.org", email, 28 Jun 2013.
