From Mandalas in Empty Poetry

This is a big project, but not quite this big.

After trying for a few years to fit my whole life into one page on Google Sites, I started thinking about switching to WordPress and combining all my writing projects into one symphonic masterpiece.

A few days later the structure for the whole thing popped into my mind. I started the home page on September 25, 2016. It has grown to about 500 pages (here listed  alphabetically as live links), and also deepened and taken on a life of it’s own.

Where the name Empty Poetry came from.

Where the domain name kenzanweb.com came from.  Kenzan Mokunin is the Buddhist name I was given by Maezumi Roshi when I had Jukai (lay ordination) in 1974. Kenzan means Firm Mountain, Mokunin means Silent Patience.

  1. Thanks for your work on this site Ed. I’ve just been studying the Vajra family and its attributes and really appreciate your references and links 🙏

    1. Anake Goodall-Thank you for being the first person in this big wide world (other than my wife) to make a comment on this site, created three years ago, in September 2016. I appreciate your beautiful web site (https://www.seedthechange.nz/) and your generous mission.

  2. I stumbled upon your site as I work to put together an intensive journal course. Aside from running a face to face class in the town where I live in Australia, I am putting together a site called ‘Trains of Thought’. I found your site when I searched for more information about Progoff’s Daily Log. It is my intention to share your wonderful project with participants.
    warmly Heather

  3. Ed,

    You inspire me greatly! I also feel super fortunate to be in your buddy group for Living the New Story3.

  4. Hello dear Ed! Thanks for being my friend and teacher, inspiring me and journeying with me through the co-creations of New Stories! Blessings for compassion and connection, all ways & always, Elizabeth

  5. I would love to chat a bit. Pick your brain (and heart) a bit, etc. So hard to find people who have dived into the inner world to any significant depth, cultivated their capacity for receptivity and the patience to watch the grass grow.
