MICHAEL KIERAN'S TRANSMISSION CEREMONY

On September 18, 2004, Nelson Foster acknowledged Michael Kieran as a successor, worthy to teach in his own right. The Old Boss, Aitken Roshi, graced the ceremony, as did Diamond sangha teachers Donald Stoddard, Joe Bobrow, and Jack Duffy. Here is a small photo gallery documenting the event.
