In this dharma talk, on the 49th day of Ryoko's passing, senior student Soten speaks of the preciousness of Zen friendships - one facet of the Sangha Treasure - and of Ryoko's life of service. When she knew that her death was likely to be sooner than later, she assembled a book of poems, koans, quotes, essays, and letters from Zen and other sources, following an ancient Jewish practice of leaving behind an "ethical will." Soten reads selections from this collection - it is Ryoko's dharma talk, not his.
