It's a photo it's a movie!

Got this great photo off Facebook. People were wondering where it was. That's Shunryu Suzuki ordaining Mel Weitsman in the old Berkeley Zen Center zendo in the attic on Dwight Way - May 19th, 1969 according to the Chronology on cuke. Never saw it before.

It's from the FB page: Old Plum Mountain: the Berkeley Zen Center, Life inside the Gate. Wow - it's a movie. Didn't know about it. Many other great photos on their page. Will download them all and watch the movie - later.

thanks David Silva for sending the pic
