霊峰 Reihō Jesse Haasch (1973-)
Reihô Jesse Haasch has been practicing zazen since 1990, initially in New Orleans as a disciple of Reibin Robert Livingston, from 1998 in Zurich as a disciple of Missen Michel Bovay and from 2010 as a disciple of Hôkan Saitô Roshi. For the past year he has been practising at Zuiôji Monastery in Japan. He regularly offers instruction on the rituals and tradition of Soto Zen, and this workshop will be the fourth of its kind in England.
Reihō is a Sōtō Zen teacher based in Japan. He was born in 1973 in Madison, Wisconsin. He discovered the practice of zazen and began daily practice at the age of 16. In 1993, he met his first teacher, Reibin Robert Livingston*, who ordained him a monk in 1996. In 1998, he moved to Switzerland and became a disciple of Missen Michel Bovay (also a disciple of Deshimaru Roshi), whom he followed closely until Bovay’s death in 2009. In 2010 he began training in Japan with Hōkan Saitō Roshi*** (a disciple of Ikkō Narasaki Roshi), from whom he has received the dharma transmission and whom he has followed from temple to temple: Shōgoji to Zuiōji to Eiheiji to Kōtaiji**** Monastery in Nagasaki, where he is currently an assistant teacher. In addition to doing translations, he also regularly leads retreats and workshops in Europe.
* Robert Cleland Livingston (1933-2021), a disciple of Taisen Deshimaru Roshi. He was later given full authority as a Zen master by Master Kosen Nishiyama. Buddhist name: Taikaku Reibin, which means "Great Palace of Spiritual Energy". His Zen teaching continues through his two successors, or dharma heirs, Tony Bland who teaches in Mississippi, and Richard Collins.

PDF: Kikyōmon: The Standard of the Tortoise-Shell Mirror
Pure Standards for the Zen Monastery (Book 8)
by Zhanglu Zongze
Tr. by Reihō Jesse Haasch
Zhanglu Zongze, (Ch’anglu Tsung-tse) died 1107, was a Chinese Ch’an Buddhist abbot noted for writing the Chanyuan Qinggui (Zen’en Shingi), ‘The Rules of Purity in the Chan Monastery’. Written in 1103, it is the earliest surviving book of monastic rules for Ch’an Buddhist monasteries, running to some ten volumes in all.
The Kikyomon, ‘The Standard of the Tortoise-Shell Mirror’, formed the eighth book of the Chanyuan Qinggui, and describes in detail the roles of monastery officers and how they should be respected. The Kikyomon is offered here with introduction, commentary and copious notes by kind permission of Rev. Reiho Haasch of Kotaiji Monastery, Nagasaki – the translator.
The short essay Zuochan yi (Tso-Ch’an I), also attributed to Zongze, is the earliest known guide to seated meditation in the Ch’an tradition, and became the model for many later meditation guides. Great Master Dogen’s Fukan Zazen Gi, ‘Universal Recommendation of Zazen for all people’, written shortly after his return from Tendo Nyojo’s temple in China, owes around a third of its content to Zongze’s Zuochan yi.
As Rev. Haasch’s introduction makes clear, both Dogen and Keizan made reference to this text. In fact, Master Keizan required the Kikyomon to be read aloud for the assembly on the first day of every month at Yokoji monastery.

Zen Master Daichi Dharma Talk
Translation by Reiho Haasch
https://www.scribd.com/document/556014082/Zen-Master-Daichi-Dharma-Talk
This document contains a Dharma talk given by Zen Master Daichi. In the talk, Daichi emphasizes the importance of recognizing impermanence and arousing the mind of awakening in order to settle the great matter of life and death. He warns that after death, one will experience rebirth according to their karma, cycling through realms of hell, hungry ghosts and animals, and suffering for eons. The only way to resolve this is to abandon attachment to this fleeting life and practice zazen meditation with an attitude of constant awareness of impermanence. Through zazen practice, one can realize their true nature and master the path of life and death.
