Hi! I’m Tasshin! ๐Ÿ™

Hi! I’m Tasshin! I’m an extremely online pilgrim wandering this precious world for the benefit of all beings. ๐Ÿ’—

I live a simple life, dedicated to being of service, supported by the generosity of others.

I have three main endeavors: spreading love, following my curiosity, and empowering others. I work on these themes through an organization I created, called The Service Guild.

My Name

My name, Tasshin (้”็œŸ) means to reach or achieve truth. U can pronounce it โ€œtoss shinโ€ (thatโ€™s the Americanized pronunciation) or โ€œtoss sheenโ€ (the Japanese pronunciation). I received this name in 2018, when I took bodhisattva vows with my teachers Shinzen Young and Soryu Forall. The first character on its own is “Tatsu” and U are welcome to call me that!

I use the moniker “Fun Pilgrim” in association with my pilgrimage, in honor of my hero, Peace Pilgrim.
