Charlotte Joko Beck has died

Zen teacher Charlotte Joko Beck has died. Her dharma heir Elihu Genmyo Smith, writes:

The following from Joko’s daughter and son:

Our mother, Joko, died peacefully at 0730 Wednesday June 15, 2011.

That’s all for now. I’ll email again. For now, please think of some teaching of hers that may have opened you to transformation in some aspect of your life and the transformation that occurred.

Love to all and thank you for your prayers for a peaceful passing for the most amazing person I have ever known.

Gassho, Brenda Chiko
