Thread: Buddhist head shaving.

My sensei recently went through the official ordination process (shukke tokudo) to become a Zen priest. One of his mentors from the school in New Mexico where he got his start in the pursuit of Zen performed the ceremony. My sensei had mentioned to her that I use a straight razor, and she wanted more information since she still uses a straight to shave her teacher's head.

kevint -- if you're in OKC you might take a look at Windsong Dojo -- we have a zendo in the back part of the building called Windsong Innerspace. Several different zen groups meet during the week.
