[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 Kongand 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. WIth nine bows, Mitra", email, 8 June 2012.

[255] "Dear Dr. Ciolek, [...] When Jikyo Roshi gave me "Purna" as a Dharma name, she did not, as far as I know, intend the [Anapurna - tmc] pun (at least not consciously), but I have always enjoyed that association. She emphasized the "full and complete" meaning of Purna.

[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 [] 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.

[368] "[...] To answer your question about his [Daisetsu Tangen Harada Roshi] full Dharma name:
Daisetsu Tangen 大拙 湛玄 great + unskilful, fill + mysterious
[...] Roshi-sama mentioned to me when I spent a short time with him that the Daisetsu part of his name means great stupid. The gen character ( 玄) in Tangen also occurs in his Dharma successor Hogens name, as well as some of Hogen-sans disciples, including mine. The common translation of gen is dark, obscure or occult, but I think a more accurate rendering is a reference to self-nature/original face, etc., which to most of us is just that, dark, obscure and esoteric. I see lots of interpretations of gen on your ZenNames page, so good luck with that.
My Dharma name, as well as what I know of, or believe to be, some of the other teachers sanctioned by Hogen-san (in no particular order) are as follows:
Please note that the English renderings are my research, unverified by anyone else. So caution is needed in their use.[...] The actual kanji characters for the names, in the same order, are as follows:
Western Name - Japanese name - Chinese/Japanese Characters - Literal Translation of Name
Peter Gallagher - Daigyo Genyo - 大行 玄洋 - great+ doing ; original nature + ocean
Eric Batten - Dokan - 道貫 - Tao + penetration
Peter Bruza - Kakudo Genjo - 覚道玄成 - enlightened way; original nature + completion
Mark Togni - Hogaku - 法覚 - Dharma + awakening
Mike Hatchett - Jikai Doko - 慈海 道光 - compassionate + ocean; Tao + light
Hope this helps. Let me know if youd like anything else that I may be able to help with. Fellow-collectors need to stick together, without of course becoming ensnared in names and forms. To me the lineage and names do have meaning and profound relevance.
