On the night of January 5, 2019, in the presence of teachers, family and friends, I gave full Dharma transmission in both the Soto and Rinzai lineages to Rev. Michael Shoryu Fieleke. Mike Sensei is the Guiding Teacher of the Morning Star Zen Sangha in Newton, MA (http://www.morningstarzensangha.org/). He has a PhD in education and is a beloved English teacher at Newton North High School where he has been teaching since 1994. He lives in East Waltham with his wife Sandra Raponi and is the father of two adult children.
Mike Sensei will continue his teaching at Morning Star, at the Boundless Way Temple in Worcester, MA, and wherever his feet will lead him. I am so happy to recognize Mike’s profound gifts of compassion, wisdom and presence. May all beings benefit from his teachings!
