He became a high school teacher of English until his retirement, then he returned to a full-time study of Zen.
He taught at the Honolulu Zendo and Maui Zendo from 1963 to 1970 and at the London Zen Society from 1970 to 1972. Then he produced his two great works, both published in America and Japan by Weatherhill, Inc., Zen Training in 1975 and Two Zen Classics in 1977.view less
