Today we have a special guest to sit-a-long with us.

This sitting was filmed in his tiny Tokyo apartment, where he lives alone (since his wife passed away and he closed his Dojo of many years) and has retired to translate books from Sanskrit. Not a pastoral hermitage in the mountains, not a grand palace nor a gold leafed temple … just a cramped room on the 11th floor of a rather gray building filled with retired folks. (Heck, if the man would consent to preside at funerals and such, he could probably make a decent income and get himself a big place … but, no, he would rather just live with his books).

I have never heard him complain or say otherwise.
