Enkyo and Bernie
Roshi Enkyo and Roshi Bernie

At the Zen Peacemaker Board Meeting held at the Mother House in Montague, Ma on May 3, 2005, Roshi Pat Enkyo O'Hara was chosen by Roshi Bernie Glassman as Co-Spiritual Director of the Zen Peacemaker Order and Sangha. This appointment was unanimously ratified by the ZP Board. Bernie expressed his delight in this ratification and his joy in having the ZPO stated value of partnership being realized in the Spiritual Director role.

On May 4, Enkyo and Bernie were acknowledged in a ritual developed by leaders of the Zen Peacemaker Order and Sangha as Co-Directors. The ceremony honored the concept of partnership and was blessed by the Elder of ZPS.
