Is there any particular reason for using the words 'Cloud Water' in your name?
Clouds and water have always held a special significance in Zen, coming from a Chinese poem which reads, "To drift like clouds and flow like water." In Japanese the term for a Zen monk is unsui which literally translates as clouds and water. The term points to the aspiration in Zen to move through life without constraints and attachments, flowing freely like clouds and water. The Cloud Water Sangha also refers more broadly to the affilation of Zen centres and sitting groups which are related to, and grew out of, Rochester Zen Center
