[700] "Dear Dr. Ciolek, Hereby I kindly request to have my dharma name added to your online catalog of zen buddhist names. I was given the name Jizō by my first teacher Willem Kando Scheepers of Zentrum, Utrecht, The Netherland. Kando Osho is a Dharma successor of Niko Tydeman in the White Plum Asanga. Currently I am connected to the Zen River Temple community (Tenkei and Myoho roshi).
Thank you very much for taking this request into consideration,
Kind regards,
Monique Jizō Rietveld Groenlo, The Netherlands", email, 3 Jul 2024 & "Dear Dr. Ciolek, Thank you for your swift and kind response.
The aspect of the vast implications of the dharma name of O-Jizo-sama, that was particularly stressed during the 2016 jukai ceremony, is JizoÕs vow to save all Ôhopeloze gevallen (Dutch)Õ, that is: hopeless cases.
This aspect was related to by my teacher because of my dedication to the wellbeing of prisoners, working as a Buddhist chaplain in jail (and currently as head of the Buddhist spiritual care departement). Kando was also referring to my [... involvement in ...] care-giving to [... a child ...] who was born with DownÕs syndrome. As further reference a picture of my o-kesa is attached to this message.
Gassho and again many thanks, Hartelijke groet, Kind regards, Monique Rietveld" email, 4 Jul 2024

My dharma name in Seshin ("Coeur pur" in french -> Pure heath [heart - tmc]) Hogyo (法行 in japanese, "Pratique du Dharma" in french -> Practice of the Dharma / Dharma in action).
It seems that Hogyo is not listed in your online catalog, and since this name was given by a Japanese Master to Jean-Marc Bazy, it could maybe be mentioned.
