April 2022 Alcio Braz is a zen teacher in Brazil. In a recent talk to the Upaya community, he spoke of blending zen with Brazilian cultural practices and beliefs. This felt like something Creative Dharma subscribers might find interesting, so editors Brad Parks and Ramsey Margolis caught up with him.
It is with some sadness that I read these articles that you have written and published are finishing. Whilst I have not participated actively I have found them stimulating and with some the opening of doors to new thoughts and others confirming my buried thoughts and rebirthing them.
Hopefully from time to time your wisdom and thoughts can still be shared with us all. So often now we sit in our homes without the stimulation of others around us and yet our cognitive development and functions is so dependant on the input from other people.
I do hope as time passes your pens will resurface and delight us all again.
