We’re excited to share a new essay by Victory Kaishin Matsui, Ancestral Heart Director at Brooklyn Zen Center, published in Tricycle. In “Two Years of Priesthood,” Kaishin reflects on the transformative ritual of shaving one’s head and what it has taught her about renunciation and the deep importance of sangha.
As Kaishin writes, “Renunciation is letting go of anything that comes between you and intimacy with life.” This insightful piece offers a personal and profound perspective on vulnerability and the importance of sangha.
