Katagiri Transcripts:Zen Dharma Talks by Dainin Katagiri Roshi

MSZC refers to themselves as the 

Creed of the Stray Dogs

Stray Dogs are:
Their own alpha
At home wherever they are
Happy alone or running with the pack
Above all else they value their freedom

“ Stray” is understood as a synonym for “homeless” or “home leaver”:
One who consciously takes to the Path.
