Let's make this birthday one to remember.

93 years old (Born on June 14, 1931)

Happy Birthday, John Daido Loori! Zen master extraordinaire, photographer with an eye sharper than a samurai sword, and CEO who somehow manages to balance enlightenment with spreadsheets. Your ability to capture life's fleeting moments—whether through the lens or in profound teachings—is truly legendary.

From guiding countless souls toward mindfulness (and occasionally reminding us that "Zen" doesn't mean zoning out during meditation), you've inspired laughter as much as wisdom. May your birthday be filled not only with serene contemplation but also cake that's sweeter than achieving nirvana itself!

Here's wishing you another year of joyful awakenings—and fewer meetings about budgets!
