Guy Mokuhô Mercier is a very old friend of “Claude Ryu Taï Philippe”, who was one of the first disciples of Taisen Deshimaru and who helped organise his mission in the 1970’s.
He confidently endorses the ZPV approach. This programme is extremely clear, well written and documented, and is a real help and an effective contribution for all students who wish to discover the practice of Zen, whether or not they are far from a teacher, a dojo or a sangha.
The individualised Zen practice teaching programme – Zen Pour Vous – created by Claude Ryu Taï Philippe has been under the direction and responsibility of Benoît Koya Senécal since 2011. Due to his advanced age, author and teacher Claude Ryu Taï Philippe has appointed Benoît Koya Senécal, who is also in charge of the Zen Meditation Community in Quebec, as his successor and head of the ZPV teaching programme. The centre is located in the Quebec City region of Canada. All teaching and correspondence with ZPV students is completely confidential.
This course is available online to anyone who, for one reason or another, cannot currently attend and practise meditation in a Zen, Buddhist or secular centre, but who nevertheless wants to learn the practice of Zen meditation. It is also offered to practitioners or bodhisattvas who wish to enrol in this course programme, which enables them to deepen their practice and commitment to the path of silent awakening.
