Estimados miembros de la Comunidad ZBOHY,<\/p>\n

En primer lugar, quiero agradecerles a todos por su inter\u00e9s en nuestro sitio. Aqu\u00ed\u00a0encontrar\u00e1n abundante material de lectura acerca de la pr\u00e1ctica del Budismo Zen. Afortunada e imprevistamente, he sido elegido\u00a0Abad<\/span> de la Orden Budista Zen de Hsu Yun (ZBOHY, por sus siglas en ingl\u00e9s), lo que implica que llevar\u00e9 adelante el mantenimiento y actualizaci\u00f3n del sitio web, tareas de edici\u00f3n y coordinaci\u00f3n de actividades, entre otras responsabilidades. Es mi intenci\u00f3n para este a\u00f1o que podamos mejorar la est\u00e9tica y presentaci\u00f3n de nuestra p\u00e1ginas, as\u00ed como incorporar m\u00e1s contenido en espa\u00f1ol (a trav\u00e9s de traducciones y producci\u00f3n de ensayos nuevos).<\/p>\n

Desde mi humilde posici\u00f3n, no espero m\u00e1s que poder ayudar a los practicantes del Budismo Zen a apreciar y profundizar su pr\u00e1ctica, allanar sus dificultades, despejar sus dudas y asistirlos en todo lo que me sea posible para su realizaci\u00f3n personal.<\/p>\n

A modo de bienvenida compartir\u00e9 con Ustedes una serie de ensayos cortos sobre conceptos b\u00e1sicos del Budismo Zen, los cuales ir\u00e9 publicando en sucesivas entregas. Los animo a escribirme en caso de que as\u00ed lo consideren.<\/p>\n

Finalmente, quiero agradecer a la comunidad de maestros, sacerdotes y laicos de ZBOHY quienes han confiado en m\u00ed para esta tarea.<\/p>\n

We have arrived at a pivotal point in our ZBOHY-ZATMA history at which we’re privileged to welcome a new abbot from South America,Yao Sheng of Buenos Aires. Abbot Yao has been a member of our sangha for many years. Well-versed in the Dharma, he is also, by profession, an electrical engineer and university professor. It will not be easy to fill Abbot Ken’s shoes, but he has the will and the skill to succeed. Yao Sheng is enthusiastic about presenting our Dharma Path to the many Latin American citizens who seek Zen’s Way to Enlightenment. We share his enthusiasm, wish him well, and congratulate him.<\/p>\n

Congratulation Reverend Yao Sheng! We join with the rest of the sangha is wishing you the best of luck in your new post.<\/p>\n

Naturally, we will all miss Abbot Ken and the good work he has done for the last few years; but the prospects of introducing Latin American languages and sangha members to our website will help to compensate his loss.<\/p>\n

We’re all excited about broadening the reach of ZBOHY’s zatma ministry and we look to you with confidence that you will guide our sangha and website readership to a fortuitous increase.<\/p>\n

Once again, Good fortune to you in your endeavors.<\/p>\n

Hola Abbot Yao!<\/p>\n

At last I can practice my espanol. Welcome to the hot seat. Ken will be staying on to contribute his technical advice and (we hope) his writing, so things may go easier than expected for you.<\/p>\n

You’ve been with us for so many years that it seems strange to welcome you to your new post. We all wish you the best of luck; and naturally, we’re all here to help. Don’t hesitate to ask.<\/p>\n

Kind regards,<\/p>\n

I warmly welcome Yao Sheng to take the highest of high positions with our Order as abbot. With the Buddhist world, in and out of the U.S., becoming more multicultural, Abbot Sheng will help us in growing our outreach and support the millions of Spanish speakers to celebrate the Buddhist teachings world wide.

Caro Yao Sheng Shakya ,<\/p>\n

Mi hanno detto che potevo scrivere in italiano, e mi fa molto piacere.
\nVolevo farti i miei ed i nostri pi\u00f9 sentiti Auguri e Congratulazioni per il tuo Incarico di Abate del nostro Ordine.
\nIl mio cognome e’ abbastanza diffuso in Argentina, ed un giorno mi piacerebbe venire a conoscere la tua citt\u00e0 ed i miei parenti che ci vivono. Anni fa misi in scena uno spettacolo con i Tanghi dedicato al mio bisnonno Francesco Antonio che arriv\u00f2 li’ nei primi del 1900.
\nDa dieci anni camminiamo insieme ed ora si aggiunge il mio gruppo romano di Attori che sperimentano Teatro e Zen.
\nDomenica avremo la nostra prima Sesshin e siamo molto contenti.
\nTi auguriamo di svolgere al meglio il tuo incarico e speriamo di poter aprire una bella amicizia d’oltreoceano.<\/p>\n

Namo Amituofo
