Gudo Nishijima was born in Yokohama, Japan, in 1919, and graduated from Tokyo
University in 1946. In 1940 he first met Master Kōdō Sawaki, whose teaching he
received until the master’s death in 1965. During this time he combined the daily
practice of zazen and study of the Shōbōgenzō with a career at the Japanese Ministry
of Finance and at a securities financing company. In 1973 he became a priest under
the late Master Renpo Niwa, and in 1977 he received transmission of the Dharma
from Master Niwa (who subsequently became abbot of Eiheiji). Shortly thereafter
Nishijima became a consultant to the Ida Ryogokudo company, and in 1987 established
the Ida Ryogokudo Zazen Dōjō in Ichikawa City near Tokyo. He continues to
give instruction in zazen and lectures, in Japanese and in English, on Master Dōgen’s
works in Tokyo and Osaka and at the Tokei-in Temple in Shizuoka Prefecture.
Chodo Cross was born in Birmingham, England, in 1959. He went to Japan in
1982, after graduating from Sheffield University, met Nishijima Roshi in June 1982,
and received the Buddhist precepts in May 1983. In 1994 he returned to England to
train as a teacher of the FM Alexander Technique. He formally received the Dharma
in 1998 and in the following year established the Middle Way Re-education Centre
